Let me hold you, as the sun sinks down tonight,
Because you`re too far away when I can`t hear the beat of your heart,
Let me hold you, as the sun sinks down tonight.
Every chapter in a relationship ends; so let`s create a new start,
And I`ll count the breaths that you take as we name off stars;
Because you`re too far away when I can`t hear the beat of your heart.
And the brightest star in the sky, I know it`ll be forever ours,
Because every time we tilt our heads to the North, it shines;
And I`ll count the breaths that you take as we name off stars.
I feel your breath on my neck; as you whisper out your cute lines,
And our hands our clasped together as our star smiles bright,
Because every time we tilt our heads to the North, it shines.
Entwine your fingers into mine, Baby, it just feels so right;
And my heart`s skipping as the butterflies give it wings,
And our hands are clasped together as our star smiles bright.
Oh, the love I feel for you in my heart elegantly sings,
[Let me hold you, as the sun sinks down tonight],
And my heart`s skipping as the butterflies give it wings,
[Let me hold you, as the sun sinks down tonight].
The Terzanelle is a poetry type which is a combination of the villanelle and the terza rima forms. It is a 19-line poem consisting of five interlocking triplets/tercets plus a concluding quatrain in which the first and third lines of the first triplet appear as refrains. The middle line of each triplet is repeated, reappearing as the last line of the succeeding triplet with the exception of the center line of the next-to-the-last stanza which appears in the quatrain.
