Taken By You

I saw you up late last night, wrapped in shadows from the hall nightlight
Nursing our baby slowly back to sleep, an Iris flower fed by living streams
And I’ve seen you in your fancy clothes, your pretty face when you forget to pose
Yet tonight, I’m taken by surprise, feel like a stone hurled up against the sky
 
‘Cause you look divine, so sure and soft, like a saint cut straight from Mary’s cloth
Our baby girl, so close to you, I’ll never see you the same way that I used to
Your beauty gives life…. restores…renews
 
I’m viewing you through a radiant lens, I’m slowly sifting through the evidence
There’s a mystifying power that you hold,
one that nourishes the lambs within our fold
And I’ve been taken by your sexy ways,  when just one look can whisk your man away
Yet tonight, I’m taken by surprise, feel like a stone hurled up against the sky
 
‘Cause you look divine, so sure and soft, like a saint cut straight from Mary’s cloth
Our little one, so close to you, I’ll never see you the same way that I used to
Your beauty gives life…restores….renews
