Rule of Love

Here's my Christmas love song to Cori, Alli and Gene, and all my sweet loved ones.
Come by some time and I'll sing it for you!


Rule of Love Shari Zimmerman December 25, 2008

1.How can something so familiar seem so strange?
The colors of my view from here have somehow sweetly changed.
Because I woke to find you here with me,
The sun and sky can’t possibly compete
With the warmth of your sighs and the light
In your eyes when you look at me
In this brand new daylight.

2.We could take a trip around the world today
Explore the streets and learn to speak the native way.
Or we could hide inside our cozy nest
The secret is we’ve found the best right here
Inside these walls, in this room, just as long as I’m with you
The only world I need is right inside your arms.

Chorus
Everything that’s anything, anything that’s happening
Is subject to the rule of love
Governed by the knowledge of the truth
That I adore you!

3.If we close our eyes and we go back to sleep
I’ll dream of you and you of me, it’s guaranteed.
But I’m afraid that there’s a kiss I’d miss
A look or smile I can’t resist will be
Lost to me if I’m asleep
Who needs rest when we can keep each other company?
We’ll stay wide awake!

Bridge
The truth is I adore you
Can’t recall my life before you
Had the pow’r to hold or free me.
Either way I’m happy to be
Subject to the rule of love…
