happy valentines day!!! :)

i remember when i was still in college (*cough*90s*cough*) wishing i knew the sentiments in this song, these lyrics... and how wonderful it is now, to not only know it, but feel it deeply and elicit these feelings in someone else i love so dearly...



"Sky of ink and diamond stars
empty streets of just occasional cars

here we lie in a lullaby
of the stillness in our room.

Words are unable to speak of love
like a smile in a whisper does
words are unable to speak of love
like a smile in a whisper does.

All of the letters and all of the words
in all of the books all over the world

they're nothing but sounds and vowels and nouns
for talking to stranger that's all they're worth.

Words are unable to speak of love
like a smile in a whisper does
words are unable to speak of love
like a smile in a whisper does.

Orchestra of tiny harps
it's like pepper sprinkled on our hearts

we're threading a needle with boxing gloves
when we try and talk about love.

Words are unable to speak of love
like a smile in a whisper does
words are unable to speak of love
like a smile in a whisper does. "
