i've walked the shores
i've sailed the seas
to find a man
who was man enough for me
the skies may look far
but i've rode the winds
and touched the clouds
yet, i'm still alone.
the sun lights the sky, its day
the moon and stars at night.
i stand and watch
then i sigh and hope
that i may get there someday
my dream of many years
was not to walk a shadow
in the midst of many
nor stand and feel my tears slowly fall
i ask not for the riches nor wealth
or the treasures of the sea
but dream to find the joy that brings me home
to hear the songs of the birds,
the crush of waves on the shores.
to see summer, winter, spring and autumn
in the eyes of one who bears a smile
and most of all
i dream to find a love that’s shared and real,
warm and true
and best of all,
a love that’s mine.
