As I slowly play my guitar

As I slowly play my guitar
someone can hear
only she must understand
only she must know
that I am speaking of love.

 

The crickets in the grain sing
and a sparrow rests on a branch
nobody sleeps this evening
not even she at this hour
gripping a pillow and breathing.

the moon is still in the sky
with a firefly on the apple tree

As I slowly play my guitar
even with the uncertainty of my hand
playing chords at this time
to give you all the goodness in my heart.

 

Pardon me or whisper forever goodbye
for I love you as no other can

A time to breathe a little pure air
the field is green with shades of springtime
the sun is warm and then evening arrives
for us the night is filled
with the aroma of hay.

I sleep on your breast
and feel the beating of your heart
as people dream at this hour
my guitar lays at rest
to give you all the goodness in my heart.
