about

I wake up to the sound of larks

The sunlight shining bright on Bryant Park

Amidst the passers-by I see 

the beautiful trees 

And someone who flees


Upon her pretty face a birthmark

so well composed, her posture is so stark

out From her beautiful eyes come

sparks, that glitter and glow

penetrating my heaa-art

All through the night the melody twists

and sings

I will find you again

we shall meet


even if it's in Spring of next year

I'd brave winter in Harbin China,

Or a pa-cific north west typhoon



Give me a sign or kind of landmark

A trail you leave w clues to your where a bouts

and on your trip i'll embark

let's let love be blind we'll glow in the dark

2, one way tickets with address unknown

we'll watch binge worthy shows in beach motels

we'd be straight out of scenes from "Love" or not-ting hill , or " "Harry met sally"


And I will carve your serene name into the bark

of the tree

where I first saw you flee

but From what or from where I've not seen.


I just see all the sparks fly freely

Come right out of your heart so soulfully

shining in the dark

they light up

all the parks

Especially Bry-ant Park!
