Measure My Life

 

I used to measure the sunlight upon your face

Measure the raindrops so full of grace

Measure the stars, measure the clouds

Measure my life around you

 

I used to measure the flowers one by one

Measure the hours under the sun

Measure my heartbeats and measure my dreams

Measure my life around you

 

Ooh …

 

I used to measure my nights

And measure my days

I used to measure the tides

Measure the waves

Measure the meaning of everything to me

 

I used to measure the magic of your smile

Measure each moment and every mile

Measure the magic of love on a hill

Measure my life around you

 

I used to measure the years it takes to be a man

Measure my times here like grains of sand

Measure good fortune that slipped through my hands

Measure my life around you

 

Ooh  ...

 

I used to measure the vacuum of an empty space

Measure the sweeping wand of fate

Measure my world

The flutter, the glass

Measure my life around you

 

I used to measure the sparkle in the morning dew

Measure the shadows in the afternoon

Measure the promise of saying I do

Measure my life around you

 

I used to measure my nights

And measure my days

I used to measure the tides

Measure the waves

Measure the meaning of everything to me

 

I used to measure the highlights in your hair

Measure the laughter and joy we shared

Measure the shining, the stunning, the stare

Measure my life around you

 

I used to measure the showers on a summer night

Measure the snowflakes and the birds in flight

Measure the colours of autumn, the lake

Measure my life around you

 

I used to measure the stories of young and of olde

Measure the music way deep in my soul

Measure the twilight, the glistening gold

I used to measure my life around you

 

Measure the happy

Measure the sad

Measure the sweetness of all that we had

 

I used to measure my life around you
