there's sweeter music when she speaks
a different bloom about her cheeks
am i a fool without a mind?
or have i merely been too blind to realize
you've been growing up before my eyes
you're not at all that funny awkward little girl i knew. oh
overnight there's been a breathless change in you. oh
while you were trembling on the brink
was i out yonder somewhere blinking at a star?
have i been standing up too close or back too far?
when did your sparkle turn to fire and your warmth become desire?
what miracle has made you the way you are?
