I’ve been blinking back tears and swallowing that tight pain you get in your throat when you’re so incredibly choked up with emotion that you can hardly breathe, let alone talk …
But not because I’m frustrated or hurt. No, not today. Today has been wonderful.
The reason for my emo-ness? I was sent this beautiful song with these stirring lyrics, and it means the world to me …
You’re my peace of mind in this crazy world.
You’re everything I’ve tried to find; your love is a pearl.
You’re my Mona Lisa, you’re my rainbow skies,
and my only prayer is that you realize
you’ll always be beautiful in my eyes.
The world will turn and the seasons will change,
and all the lessons we will learn will be beautiful and strange.
We’ll have our fill of tears, our share of sighs.
And my only prayer is that you realize
you’ll always be beautiful in my eyes.
