LyricsA Song for Laura

You're my sun and stars My world and moon You're my everything And I don't know how you do it But it's something worth including When I saw The love in my wife's eyes double in mine And when the flame went out, the smoke starting dancing like you So effortlessly beautiful It's mythical How you live like that How you speak my name How your love bells ring Well, this storm can't steal your thunder Or this spell you've cast me under But I watched as the rain on the pavement put you to sleep And love was never something that I would seek But I met you and it came so naturally I can see us out by the ocean With your sense of certainty So you'll be Jean-Dominique and I'll be Celiné Despite our living conditions, I still tried to be The romantic that you saw in me You couldn't believe When I took a knee in the candlelight of the cafeteria Ten years since our wedding And not a moment worth regretting Then I saw the tears of my first love staining your cheeks I started painting and the canvas became your new home Or a place where past lives live alone Like a Kodachrome Now you're by the beach Now you're out of reach Now you're fast asleep And I could paint a million portraits But there's no point trying to ignore it The fact remains: Nobody could capture the beauty you hold And love was never something that I would seek But I met you and it came so naturally And I can see us out by the ocean With your sense of certainty So you'll be Jean-Dominique and I'll be Celiné
