about

An ode to the most important woman in my life.

lyrics

Somewhere between the sweet confusion of the winter's passing on
And the wild grinning sunlight of the spring
There lies a puzzle of a person, a most ingenious paradox
My sweet enigma, my mysterious thing

My lionness, my readhead warrior, my burning castle queen
Day to day, she lives within a scalding stove
Though the flames may burn her skin, they cannot touch her golden heart
She is my song of hope and diamond treasure trove

And when she comes running to you
You best keep your arms wide open

She is my, my, my pretty lady
I will cherish her each day
She is my, my, my pretty lady
You can't take this love away
You can't take this love away

People gather 'round each other to discuss their petty woes
But my lady, she is quite unlike them all
Her words, though they are wise ones, will too often go misheard
And they will float away like autumn leaves will fall

And when she comes singing to you
You best keep your soul wide open

She is my, my, my pretty lady
I will cherish her each day
She is my, my, my pretty lady
You can't take this love away
You can't take this love away

Do you recall every moment that we ever shared a laugh
Or the countless ones in which we shared a tear?
I no longer have to worry where the future takes me now
It's a damn good one as long as you are near

So, when I come running to you
You best keep your arms wide open

She is my, my, my pretty lady
I will cherish her each day
She is my, my, my pretty lady
You can't take this love away
She is my, my, my pretty lady
I will cherish her each day
She is my, my, my pretty lady
You can't take this love away
You can't take this love away
No, you can't take this love away
