Mi Amor Lyrics

Mi amor, as you pause beside the lilacs
I watch you take them in
You start the morning like a prayer
That's the way your days begin
And if I could be a petal
Which you touch before you go
Then with this branch I'll scratch the dirt
And that's the seed I'll sow

Mi amor, as you dive beneath the water
I watch it cascade down your chest
You rise upon the wave
As if it's molded to your breast
If I could be a stream that feeds this lake
Which might rise to kiss your face
Then I will wind my way between these rocks
So I might settle in this place

Mi amor, as you glide beside the clouds
I feel the wind beneath your wings
With such ease you take this gift
That your friend, la luna brings
And I hope that in my lungs
There might be the strength one day
That you might gather other sparrows
And chase the crows away
