Only a Few Days
Embracing Eternity: A Love Beyond Time
Lyrics
I've lived long but I'm still young
I've experienced a long life, yet I still feel youthful.
Each passing day brings a new lump
Every day brings new challenges or difficulties.
But I can wait
Despite challenges, I can be patient.
The journals I've filled from all what could have beens
I've documented missed opportunities in my journals.
While thinking of what I should
Contemplating what I should do while waiting.
But I still wait
Patience persists even in anticipation.
When I finally hold your hand and sing
Anticipation of holding your hand and singing.
When I feel the gaze of your eyes
Feeling the warmth of your gaze.
All the time apart, all the years in the dark
Distance and time in the dark will seem short.
Will have been only a few days
Long separations will feel like only a few days.
I've thought of all the places we'd go
Envisioning places to visit together, including Chicago.
Maybe the ocean and definitely Chicago
Imagining possibilities with optimism.
I can only imagine
Restricted to imagining due to current circumstances.
I've thought of all the names of our kids
Thinking about potential names for our future children.
Cedric, Karen, and definitely Liz
Specifically considering names like Cedric, Karen, and Liz.
I only imagine
Imagining family with hopeful anticipation.
When I finally hold your hand and sing
Anticipating joy in holding hands and singing together.
When I feel the gaze if your eyes
Focusing on the emotional connection through gaze.
All the time apart, all the years in the dark
Believing that time apart will feel short in retrospect.
Will have been only a few days
Long separations will ultimately seem brief.
Only a few days
Highlighting the brevity of the separation as "Only a few days."
Life isn't bad now, but I know you're still out there
Life is satisfactory now, but someone special is yet to be found.
If time moves fast now, then it will blow by
Acknowledging that time will pass quickly when in love.
When we get to know one another
Anticipating the accelerated passage of time when getting to know someone.
I don't care what you look like I just want to know you and make our few days count
Appearance is not crucial; the focus is on knowing and making the most of limited time.
When I finally hold your hand and sing
Envisioning joy in holding hands and singing together, reiterating the theme.
When I feel the gaze of your eyes
Emphasizing the significance of eye contact in connection.
All the time apart, all the years in the dark
Reiterating that time apart will be perceived as short.
Will have been only a few days
Long separations will ultimately feel like only a few days.
Only a few days
Repeating the idea of the brevity of separation as "Only a few days."
Only a few days.
Concluding with the repeated notion of a short separation.
