Week 4 Assignment for Coursera Songwriting, 03/05/15

Lyrics:

Verse
Married friends all said to me,
"When it's right, you just know."
Now I've met you, I agree;
We fit, we flow, in sync we'll grow.
Decades on, our laughs and griefs
The wrinkles on your face will show.
My fingertips will love with ease
These proofs of our shared life and load.

Chorus
But late at night I hear you breathe
I feel your warmth, I taste my fears
Will we have years, or only days?
I feel such joy, I'm scared that fate will snatch away our future
Will we have years, or only now?
(carpe diem, carpe vita, carpe diem, carpe vita)

["carpe vita" might be just too cheesy, too pidgin Latin...feel free to weigh in, anybody who actually knows Latin!]
