I AM FULL OF
LOVE TONIGHT
I am full of
love tonight
Come look into my eyes, and let's go off
Sailing, my dear, on a long ocean ride.
Come look into my eyes, and let's go off
Sailing, my dear, on a long ocean ride.
This world
will not touch you,
I will keep you snug upon my seat.
I will keep you snug upon my seat.
Let's
plot
To make the moon jealous
With a radiance leaping from your cheek.
To make the moon jealous
With a radiance leaping from your cheek.
I will be full
of love tonight,
Come look into these ancient eyes!
Come look into these ancient eyes!
And let's go
off sailing, my dear,
With our spirits intertwined.
With our spirits intertwined.
Your body is
just an old sandbar
In a speeding hourglass of time.
In a speeding hourglass of time.
Love will turn
the mouth of sorrow
Right side up.
Right side up.
Let your heart
commence its destined
Laughing chime!
Laughing chime!
Hafiz will be
brimful of love tonight,
Why ever be shy?
Why ever be shy?
Come look into
the playful eyes of my verse,
They are eternally branded,
They are eternally branded,
Branded with
The Sun!
The Sun!
("The Gift" -
versions of Hafiz by Daniel Ladinsky)
