YOU'RE THE SHINE WHEN THE MOON WON'T APPEAR

you got the skin
of color i love
the tone of your skin
my eyes fall in love
you condition my emotions
you chase away
the memories that refuse to give up

you're the shine when the moon won't appear
you're the occupancy where there's been vacancy
you're the woman when this man needs to make a stand
you're the chance i'm glad i took

this burst of energy you bring into my life is special
the seriousness of your eyes
i find the child and the woman i love
you do have good taste

forever is the way you make me feel
everything i lost i find everything in you
i guess everything we have is meant to be
comes natural with you and me
like the soul in our dance
if everyday is as good as this
only love can find out if it's real
