Testo di Sonnet

I sent you a sonnet I stole from a woman Who shared all my fears You'll never imagine the courage it cost me To wait out the years Knowing that time was against ever meeting you Loving you still for your songs Trusting the truth of the lyrics I've learned from you Wishing on stars and singing on street corners Hoping that you'd come along And if you should hear this don't feel obligations to answer these lines I'm happy just knowing I've told you I love you within these poor rhymes Portuguese sonnets and second hand songwriters sending you fan-letter love cannot express all the beauty I see in you Found in your words, Locked in your songs are the feelings that I'm singing of
