Elyse

Oh, to see the moon through her eyes
And to feel the sun the first time, no preconceptions
She looks at me and smiles as she stands
While clutching firm to my sandpaper hands, no imperfection

She elates and illuminates
Every stranger's face
She sets free momentarily
Everyone she sees

So this is what they've all talked about
So bountiful that you never run out, a love unmeasured
I feel her pain, I feel her delight
I feel removed from myself in her sight, an infinite treasure

She elates and illuminates

Every stranger's face
She sets free momentarily
Everyone she sees

I count the days till she looks at me
And says the words that she's heard so repeatedly
Then again I wish time would slow down
'Cause I want to savor a while her innocent eyes an untainted smile

She elates and illuminates
Every stranger's face
She sets free, momentarily
Everyone she sees

Everyday a new revelation
Everyday a new revelation
