Rickie Lee Jones - Valtz de mon pere (Lovers’ Oath) lyrics

How can I tell you
The way I feel when you’re inside?
You made this girl as young as the moon
And old as the lips the wave that rests
In the pool, guarding

We come unknowing the where or the why
Throwing back our weight growing by and by
Staring at what we’ve made
As if we’re not afraid
As helpless as the wind
As perfect as the sun at days end

We’ll watch each other
'Til we’re sure we are safe
Counting all the sheep
That still pass this way
And darling, as you dream you seem to glow
With the faces that you know
And I’m jealous that I can’t be there

We’ll stay together we’ll never part
Our grandchildren will know us
'Cause they’re made of our heart
And even though we’re parted
From the physical world
I’ll always be your girl
And I’ll watch the world for signs of love
