Subject: Lyric Quote of the Day--Mar 2
One of the most gorgeous songs ever, in my opinion. It's by Stephen Schwartz.

My days are brighter than morning air
Evergreen, pine, and autumn blue
But all my days were twice as fair
If I could share
My days with you

My nights are warmer than firecoals
Incense and stars, and smoke bamboo
But nights were warm beyond compare
If I could share
My nights with you

To dance in my dreams
To shine when I need the sun
With you
To hold me when dreams are done

And oh...
My dearest love
If you will take my love
Then all my dreams are truly begun

And as time weaves ribbons of memory
To sweeten life when youth is through
But I would need no memories there
If I could share
My life with you
