Sculptor

When you step from the shower
It’s all I can do is stare at you
When you step from the shower
It’s all I can do is stare at you

When you shave your long wet legs
There are no words that I can say
When you shave your long wet legs
It’s all I can do is stare at you

I wish I was a painter
Then I could do you justice
I wish I was a sculptor
You make me want to take up molding clay

I want to leave something of you behind
They’ll find three hundred years from now
I want to do something for you
To tell you how much I love you

When you talk your baby talk
It’s all I can do is to try to be five years old with you
When your grapefruit eyes begin my day
I try to keep up and not slip away

I wish I was a painter
Then I could do you justice
I wish I was a sculptor
You make me want to take up molding clay

I want to leave something of you behind
They’ll find three hundred years from now
I want to do something for you
To tell you how much I love you
