An existential ditty
wrote it in my kitchen late last night.
The form is not fully developed yet, but the sentiment is there

When I'm 64 (Beatles cover)

A simple love song celebrating a sweet engagement.

Lyrics:
Meet me at the Lighthouse, baby,
ready to believe there's more than you see.
We can make a promise for life,
release our love high in the heat of sunrise.

Even when I don’t know where I’m going
you can light my way.
Even when you don’t know what you’re doing
I can start your day.
Even when the edge of life gets blurry ‘cause we’re moving too fast,
sometimes I gotta stop and cherish everything we have.

So I raise my glass and I make a toast,
for you are the one I love the most.
And I hold you close and I kiss your face
for you are the one I can’t replace.
And I run my fingers through your hair
so I can be sure you’re really there.
And I tip my hat and can’t help but boast
for you are the one I love the most.


Meet me on a new frequency,
ready to unleash magic mystery.
We can be in contact for life; 
when not by my side, just leave on your heart light.

Even when I’m busted, beat and broken,
you can make me strong.
Even when you’re caught, confused and choking,
I can sing your song.
Even when the edge of life gets sharp and we don’t know what to do,
sometimes I wanna take a moment to give thanks to you.

So I raise my glass and I make a toast,
for you are the one I love the most.
And I hold you close and I kiss your face
for you are the one I can’t replace.
And I run my fingers through your hair
so I can be sure you’re really there.
And I tip my hat and can’t help but boast
for you are the one I love the most.
