Sending You My Love.

by keimosobie

I send my soul to soar lifting off this page
Timeless and unchanging given from above
A gift that was opened on this perfect stage

I cast it all upon you like a magic mage
It fits every heart like a velvet glove
I send my soul to soar lifting off this page

This gift that lasts forever and won't grow old with age
It gets lifted into the heavens on wings of a dove
A gift that was opened on this perfect stage

It won't make you jealous or fill your heart with rage
Everything you can imagine or ever thought of
I send my soul to soar lifting off this page

So I'm letting it all out of its golden cage
Although the door is open sometimes it needs a shove
A gift that was opened on this perfect stage

I'm giving it for free, no need to pay a wage
Out across the universe I'm sending all my love
I send my soul to soar lifting off this page
A gift that was opened on this perfect stage
