Wrote this one for the wife. We’re both quite fond of the scratched out first draft, dated August 14, 2001.It was eventually recorded 3 years later and released on The Year of Longing Dangerously.

By the way, this post finally completes the collection of Year lyrics on this site. Search for the album title to see them all.

If I could freeze this moment in time,
Then I would sweep the clouds from the sky for you.
You deserve the brightest of sunny days,
The warmth of the sun’s embrace.
The comforting breeze that sails through the trees
Blows softly and sweetly for you.
Sunshine feels so good on my face —
A lifeline keeping me here in this place.
All of my doubts and fears melt away
In the warmth of the sun’s embrace.
My lonely heart sings with all the thousand things
I’d do in a second for you.
I’d bring you the head of the man in the moon on a plate.
I’d pile the world’s gold till the earth caved in under the weight.
Whatever you wanted, I’d get it – no price is too great
For you.
Never before have I wanted you more than right now.
High on this feeling I’m scraping the ceiling,
I’m weightless somehow.
Give me as much of your touch as my heart will allow.
All I have is for you.
