GIGANTIC LEMON GUM DROP

GIGANTIC LEMON GUM DROP

Quiet is the night, cascading sweetly o’er the village,
The sun gigantic lemon gum drop explodes into the moon.
I think of you at end of day, a savior coming to me soon.

Quiet is your smile, that spreads its holy visage,
Here and there and everywhere, the nooks and crannies of my soul,
Like a toasty English muffin that you craftily stole.
And noisy is the world outside, its cannon fire goes rumbling.
One by one its mighty soldiers fall and go a tumbling.

But love’s a wonderland of grace, I find within your precious face,
Riding high in my esteem, a soft and wondrous golden dream.
And quiet is so far away, until I reach this threshold.
Wearily I make my way up these magic carpet stairs.
And lay my body down to rest, unloading all these heavy cares.
They fall like lead upon the floor, this entranceway enchanted.
I cherish this, I relish this, I take it not for granted.

And quiet comes the setting sun, after all is said and done.
And as I close my weary eyes, you are my precious wondrous prize.
I wait amidst the darkness and know that you are coming soon.
The sun gigantic lemon gum drop explodes into the moon.
