I Have Touched the Sun

When love out-weighs the want to
As I look into your eyes
When the first time pales compared to
The present paradise
When moon-lit hills and midnight thrills
Are side-bars in the dust
And heavens light is shining bright
In eyes I’ve grown to trust
When everything familiar
Is wrapped up in your smile
And the frailest things are also
The strongest by a mile
When life becomes worth living
Because in this silent hour
You have breathed upon a bud
Which is now a radiant flower
And in this stillness multiplied
Where two are really one
I have laughed and I have cried
And I have touched the sun
