For Teresa

My purpose and meaning, my mystical vision, my star,
I think of you, darling, no matter how distant we are,
I sail with the wind and your mischievous smile as my guide--
Oh lovely Teresa, with you I am free as a child.

I dream of you, darling, I dream of your heavenly eyes,
I dream of your hair as I travel these infinite skies
And know somehow that this is the place I belong--
Oh lovely Teresa, my music, my lyrics, my song.

We roam together, exploring the moon and the stars,
I love you, my darling, no matter how distant we are,
I close my eyes and imagine your glowing smile--
Oh lovely Teresa, with you I'm free as a child.
