How Exquisite It Was

I can pick real pretty words- make ’em rhyme real neat

And I can tell you all the facts ’til the story is complete

But you can’t ever really know, about what I’m singing, ’cause

There aint no words that can convey

And I wanna make you happy and I wanna turn you on

And I want for you to love me for the beauty of my song

And I wish you could have been there; then you’d know just why I fuss

With the words that always fall just short of

How Exquisite It Was

Oh, the air- it sang in rapture, in duet with rhythmic sighs

And our souls- they moved like rolling clouds that eclipsed the very skies

And the sun exploded in our breasts, leaving only dream stardust

And the universe could find no words for

How Exquisite It Was
