[Luka Mwango - Dear Future Wife lyrics]
Dear Future Wife
I pray before I meet you I go blind
Hmmm, okay, not physically but metaphysically
I pray that my eyes don’t drown
In the sea of your beauty
That the planet of my heart is not
Illuminated by the sun of your smile
That my emotions are not strangled by
The curves of your body
I pray that I may never get so
Lost in the richness of your eyes
I forget about the poverty of life
That the vacuum of your sight may
Never make me lose my breath
Will you still love me when I’m
No longer young and beautiful?
Will you still love me when I
Got nothing but my aching soul?
I know you will i know you will
I know that you will will you still love me
When I’m longer beautiful?
Will you still love me when I’m
No longer young and beautiful?
‘Cause I know the blasphemy of my eyes
The idolatry of media shrines
That strip you of your substance
And glorify the superficial
I've worshiped in their temples
With Twerk Prophets
Bikini Priests and Apostles of Lust
Sacrificed your worth at the altar of porn
I don’t know how to find you in
The garbage bag of my retinas
‘Cause I've dated girls whose beauty had me
Way past tipsy – I'm drunk!
But when the hangover of
Their personality hit me
It burnt the liver of my hope
Will you still love me when I’m
No longer young and beautiful?
Will you still love me when I
Got nothing but my aching soul?
I know you will i know you will
I know that you will will you still love me
When I’m longer beautiful?
Will you still love me when I’m
No longer young and beautiful?
I pray I may have the
Courage to appreciate God’s
Love That shines through the
Torch of your service
For the grace to walk through
The hallways of your mind
And unlock the doors of
Heaven’s intellect stashed away
The faith to look past your physical flaws
And appreciate the beauty of your spirit
And if I’m ever amazed
At your physical beauty
Maybe when you're sixty-five with missing
Teeth and saggy cheeks
May I look at you with the eyes
Of a love-struck teenager and say
"Baby, how you so young and beautiful"
Will you still love me when I’m
No longer young and beautiful?
Will you still love me when I
Got nothing but my aching soul?
I know you will i know you will
I know that you will will you still love me
When I’m longer beautiful?
Will you still love me when I’m
No longer young and beautiful?
I pray before I meet you I go blind
Hmmm, okay, not physically but metaphysically
I pray that my eyes don’t drown
In the sea of your beauty
That the planet of my heart is not
Illuminated by the sun of your smile
That my emotions are not strangled by
The curves of your body
I pray that I may never get so
Lost in the richness of your eyes
I forget about the poverty of life
That the vacuum of your sight may
Never make me lose my breath
Will you still love me when I’m
No longer young and beautiful?
Will you still love me when I
Got nothing but my aching soul?
I know you will i know you will
I know that you will will you still love me
When I’m longer beautiful?
Will you still love me when I’m
No longer young and beautiful?
‘Cause I know the blasphemy of my eyes
The idolatry of media shrines
That strip you of your substance
And glorify the superficial
