When
I Think of You
(for Teresa)
When I think of you, I feel the tranquil night
Whisper lullabies in the moonlight.
When I think of you, I feel the rain stop pouring,
As the clouds disperse in the sun.
When I think of you, I feel the world come alive
Like the cherry blossoms in spring.
When I think of you, as I can only think of you,
I feel lost like a little child.
When I think of you, I am myself once again,
Knowing that I love you.
