I met a girl once upon a journey 

she’s pale as ice, yet warm as fire.

Her smile is like a million rivers, 

Yet calm as a sunset.

I met a girl once upon a journey.

Her smile could end world wars

But her laughter might slay a 1000 kings 

She reminds me of a song,

A song I loved as a child.

I met a girl once upon a journey.

She’s Brazilian yet European.

She’s the opposite of me, yet the best of us.

I met a girl once upon a journey.

She reminds me of Sade‘s king of sorrow 

She reminds me of a love so deep it’s from another world.

I met a girl once upon a journey.

She’s my sister from many generations.

I met a girl once upon a journey.

I was supposed to write her a letter, 

But there weren’t enough words to speak of my love for her.

PS Heidi, 

Just like the song goes “I want to cook you a soup that warms your soul, but nothing would change, Nothing would change at all”

All that I want to give you, I cannot give, but I have prayed to the father for you. I have asked that he visits you.
