• It's late at night and I can't sleep.
  Missing you just runs too deep.
  Oh I can't breathe, thinking of your smile.
  Every kiss I can't forget, this aching heart ain't broken yet.
  Oh God I wish I could make you see
  Cause I know this flame isn't dying
  So nothing can stop me from trying
  Baby you know that
  Maybe it's time for miracles
  Cause I ain't giving up on love
  You know that maybe it's time for miracles
  Cause I ain't giving up on love
  No I ain't giving up on us

• My heart leaps up when I behold
  A rainbow in the sky:
  So was it when my life began;
  So is it now I am a man;
  So be it when I shall grow old,
  Or let me die!
  The Child is father of the Man;
  I could wish my days to be
  Bound each to each by natural piety.

  William Wordsworth

  "My Heart Leaps Up When I Behold" l. 1 (1807). Wordsworth also used the last three lines as the epigraph for his poem "Ode: Intimations of Immortality from Recollections of Early Childhood" (1807). See Milton 43
