Analysis of Heart & Soul
Lay down your head on my trembling arm
Let me comfort you through the night,
Allow me a moment to hold you close
Before I give you a night of pure delight.
The touch of your skin is like soft woven silk
Your hair as fine as the white driven snow,
The feel of your touch upon my sensitive body
Allows me to make all my feelings show.
You're my Lady, my Butterfly, my Queen.
You are both my weakness and my strength,
From you I know that I can live again in life
And to keep this I'll go to any given length.
So to gain your love is to touch your heart
And to touch your heart is to know you're real,
You are part, whole, you are everything to me
So my heart and soul you don't have to steal.
