Mi amor, as you pause beside the lilacs   I watch you take them in   You start the morning like a prayer   That´s the way your days begin   And if I could be a petal   Which you touch before you go   Then with this branch I´ll scratch the dirt   And that´s the seed I´ll sow      Mi amor, as you dive beneath the water   I watch it cascade down your chest   You rise upon the wave   As if it´s molded to your breast   If I could be a stream that feeds this lake   Which might rise to kiss your face   Then I will wind my way between these rocks   So I might settle in this place      Mi amor, as you glide beside the clouds   I feel the wind beneath your wings   With such ease you take this gift   That your friend, la luna brings   And I hope that in my lungs   There might be the strength one day   That you might gather other sparrows   And chase the crows away
