Beautiful In The Dark

 

Beautiful In The Dark

(blinded by the need of the human heart)

Sometimes the things that are beautiful in the dark

Can be so ugly in the light of day

Sometimes the things we take the most for granted

Can mean the most when they go away.

I stand here on this white sand beach

And watch the turquoise tides roll out to sea

I think about the silver moon in your eyes

And how your lips felt when you were loving me.

I listened quietly to your soft sweet nothings

But honestly, I didn't hear a thing

For words to you were lies to make me love you

So when the phone rings now, I let it ring.

You know how good strawberries taste on your tongue?

How champagne's bubbles tickle as they rise?

How rainbows appear and disappear like magic?

That's how love is brought to life before it dies.

A beautiful thing that's sweet when it shows up

So full of joy the heart gives it reception

There on the dance floor, street or garden path

But with the dawn, the heart knows it's deception.

Why must it be so in this earthly life?

Why must we wait for Heaven's joy to trust?

Why must we long for love with all our souls?

When the love we think we've found proves made of dust.

Love should be found in the golden light of morning

In a garden full of fragrance all around

Clearly surmised without shadow and apprised

To be what builds us up, not lets us down.

I've seen love's face and I've seen the face of lusting

I've felt naive intent and midnight's grasp

I've loved and lost and loved and learned a lesson

I've known the grief of loss when love has passed.

How foolish is the heart when night has fallen

When the eyes see lies but the need just does not care

And the void of the soul to be made whole grows wider

When you awake and find there's no love there.

Awakenings are stunning and despairing

When you've not yet learned to discern the shade from spark

And you see in clear light an ugly thing revealed

That you thought was simply beautiful in the dark.

I was naive once long ago and yesterday

When I still thought you beautiful and fine 

But my eyes couldn't see what my heart wouldn't see

Till I woke up ..............

Opened my eyes and found that I was blind.
