My beautiful girl

Three years ago today I met one of the most amazing people who I have ever been privileged to spend time with. 

I'm not much for being super mushy or lovey-dovey in the public sphere and she knows that. Even doing this right now is a little bit outside of my comfort zone.

This track came on my iPod tonight as I settled in to bed. I had to grab my computer and share it, send it out, dedicate it to her. She truly does deserve the best. I can only hope that my best is enough.

This is for you Jacquie. I can't write you a song like this right now, so all I can do is send this one out. If I ever learn how to play my guitar and write songs, the first song I write will be for you.

The Girl by City & Colour

I wish I could do better by you
'Cause that's what you deserve
You sacrifice so much of your life
In order for this to work 

While I'm off chasing my own dreams
Sailing around the world
Please know that I'm yours to keep
My beautiful girl 

When you cry a piece of my heart dies
Knowing that I may have been the cause
If you were to leave
Fulfill someone else's dreams
I think I might totally be lost
You don't ask for no diamond rings, no delicate string of pearls
That's why I wrote this song to sing
My beautiful girl 

I wish I could do better by you
'Cause it's what you deserve
You sacrifice so much of your life
In order for this to work 

While I'm off chasing my own dreams
And sailing around the world
Please know that I'm yours to keep
My beautiful girl 

And when you cry, a piece of my heart dies
Knowing that I may have been the cause
If you were to leave and fulfill someone else's dreams
I think I might totally be lost 

But you don't ask for no diamond rings
No delicate string of pearls
That's why I wrote this song to sing
My beautiful girl 

But you don't ask for no diamond rings
No delicate string of pearls
That's why I wrote this song to sing
My beautiful girl
