So Much I Want To Say

Suzanne Mondoux · 9 September 2020

Being at your side has been the best part of my life You held me up when I couldn’t walk alone I hid my scars and you uncovered my face So tender your hands and so kind your heart So much I want to say to you

You saved my life when all the joy seized in my heart Your finger tapped gently on my anguish The mad words I let escape you captured with a kiss So much I want to say about my loss and sorrow But you take me back home where my heart resides

So much I want to say in the long quiet hours of my day I stay beside you seeing the life waiting for me Through the longest nights of bitter cold and nightmares The fearing crowds in my mind subside by your side So much I want to say on the growth of my heart

Long gone this slumber weaving through my breath I think how you captured my heart with a simple I think how I left myself slide away from life I wanted So much I want to say to me To remind me of all that life waits for me

I’m the mother and father of my dreams I’m the one chance at the life you give me So much I want to say in love and words can only repeat I warn me of what once was So much I want to say in these quiet moments our life

Take my hand and let me lead the way to our hearts So much I want to say to me So much I want to say to us The mad words I now let escape without a sound My heart captures before your gentle kiss
