In Your Arms
Eternal Embrace: Megan Shumway's Melodic Ode to Love and Connection
Lyrics
The summer sun burns with every moment spent

Away from you and never offers recompense
Being apart from the person doesn't bring any compensation or consolation.
I see your face in clouds

And when I look up at the sky

I long for colder days

When you are sleeping by my side
Expressing longing for the moments when the person sleeps beside them.
I could stay here forever
The desire to stay in the current state indefinitely.
And it wouldn't be enough
Even an eternal stay wouldn't be sufficient, indicating the depth of affection.
Oh, love, hold me tighter

You embrace all my smooth and my rough

And I am only home inside your arms

To her, I'm her spring child, her blooming begotten

But you see my soul

Myself as a whole

And still say that I'm a queen

I could stay here forever

And it wouldn't be enough
