Plan, The

Once upon a time my dear
Back where it all began
A woman walked in a garden
Alongside of her own man

That was how it was designed to be
Before it was shot to hell
A man and woman were meant to love
Not to argue, fuss, and yell

So how did it get ruined you ask
What could have ever gone so wrong
When did "you" lose your rightful place
Where you were to be all along

It was probably the man who blew it
In truth this is often true
He allowed something to take your place
And the magic of love was through

When God looked down from Heaven
He knew alone man was undone
But He didn't give him a dog as friend
Nor even a fishing rod or gun

The first woman was there created
From a single rib of her man
And only when she stood by his side
Was he complete ever again

It is how love was meant to be
Nothing else will ever do
I can never be completely me
Unless I'm alone with you

There will be no more distractions
No place I'd rather be
Nothing that might lure me away
From that special part of me

My soul has found such pureness
My heart has found release
My body has discovered such passions here
My mind has found it's peace

It's like you were plucked from within me
Like I had dreamed you up myself
I could never have hoped to find such love
I have been blessed beyond mere wealth

And I know this love is holy
Because I know our hearts are pure
And I feel your soul so late at night
And my loneliness is cured

I hear the gentle music
That your words sing to my soul
And I feel the thunders drumming
As our passions start to roll

And I know that we have found it
The magic plan that once was lost
And I know I will protect our special love
Regardless of any cost

I will run right through the fire
I will defy it's raging flame
I will lead you through to Heaven's gate
My lips will cry your name

I will never fail to love you
I will always pass the test
I have found a woman so warm and pure
Who deserves more than my best

But the soul knows about this magic
It is indeed the source thereof
Where the vultures circled o'er my heart
There is now this snow-white dove

May our love be like a beacon
That will help others to see
The way that two were meant to share
Just how great such love can be...

Baby. once upon a time there was a plan; what Love was meant to be. It
was lost for a long, long time... until we found it somehow. This is
for you... - Paul (Yeah, I KNOW it's long...) ;-)
