Within Your Graces

She wore herself
Well, before I knew her name
A picture in my head
Captured perfectly on her frame
As her hips swayed beneath her dress

I always hoped
I'd somehow know
Now, I do

Once, love
I was
Lucky enough to say
I was
Once loved
And held within your graces

Southern winds
Carried us into warm seasons
And, we lived there
Within the walls of new love's prison
Before cooler winds came

I miss the hair that hid your eyes
That kept a shy girl safe
But, even more, I miss your kindness
And how it healed my heartache

Once, love
I was
Lucky enough to say
I was
Once loved
And held within your graces

Right, within your graces
