"Simple Gifts" by Eric von Bayer I bent and kissed you, light like the wind Like a feather touch on your lips But in that instant, my heart lept in a swell and joined the heavens I wished, like the wind I could echo your name across the land in whispers and roars To carry my love ever to you But I was a man... a simple man, and all I could give was the intensity of my eyes The lightness of my touch The softness of my love All I could give was myself... and no more But I knew... in that you could be happy I loved you because in me you could be happy And I knew, that my heart was as free as the wind Knowing... Loving... Your simple gentleness... like soft water on a hot day You filled my soul with peace and joy I love you In all tenderness... I love you
