Looking at you
Looking at me
Two mirrors reflecting mine
Smiling at you
Smiling at me
The edges of my life define

My life was in color
Now the details I can see
And I knew what love was
But it never felt so deep
Looking at you I see
The very best of me

Laughing at you
Laughing at me
Two notes in harmony
Crying with you
Crying with me
Makes my sorrow taste so sweet

My life was in color
Now the details I can see
And I knew what love was
But it never felt so deep
Looking at you I see
The very best of me

Feeling your little head on my shoulder 
Holding your little heartbeat a little closer
How could I know as you grow a little older
This is a love I won't get over

Growing with you
Growing past me
Taking steps I feared to take
Hoping that you
Never lose hope, dear
This world is yours to make

My life was in color
Now the details I can see
And I knew what love was
But I never felt so deep
Looking at you I see
The very best of me

The Very Best Of Me

Love You The Same (Ft. Zach Deezer)

O LIVING FLAME OF LOVE (Oh llama de amor viva)
From the Album "Ars Poética" by Tracy McDonnell (2023)
(Suite San Juan, Movement V)

O living flame of love, 
How tenderly you wound my soul
In her profoundest core!
You are no longer shy.  Do it now, I ask you: 
Break the membrane of our sweet union.

O soothing cautery!
O wound that is a joy!  
O gentle hand!  O delicate touch!
Tasting of eternity, repaying every debt.   
Killing, you turn my death to life.

O lamps of human fire, in deep transparency
The lowest caverns of the senses, once shadowy and blind
Flare in light and warmth 
And wake the lover with amazing joy!

How lovingly and soft you make my heart recall 
Where you alone lie secretly
And with your honeyed breath
Replete with grace and glory
How tenderly you make me love!

O lamps of human fire, in deep transparency 
The lowest caverns of the senses, once shadowy and blind
Flare in light and warmth 
And wake the lover with amazing joy!

Winter Song

[Verse 1]
I know you think that I shouldn't still love you
Or tell you that
But if I didn't say it, well, I'd still have felt it
Where's the sense in that?
I promise I'm not trying to make your life harder
Or return to where we were

[Chorus]
But I will go down with this ship
And I won't put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door
I'm in love and always will be

[Verse 2]
I know I left too much mess and destruction
To come back again
And I caused nothing but trouble
I understand if you can't talk to me again
And if you live by the rules of "it's over"
Then I'm sure that that makes sense

[Chorus]
But I will go down with this ship
And I won't put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door
I'm in love and always will be

white flag
