Violet

You have got my heart on a string.

I haven’t even met you and you

You have got my heart on a string.

You are brightening my senses

Ignoring all my defenses

You have got my heart on a string.

You’ve a name that makes me think light,

Posies and roses, sun-beams bright

Wonderland, daisy chains, starlight

And beautiful indigo night

You have got my heart on a string.

I haven’t even met you and you

You have got my heart on a string.

You are brightening my senses

Ignoring all my defenses

You have got my heart on a string.

Your walk is noble, full of grace

Hold your head high as faith you chase

Fill up a room yet take no space

Til all can see the better place

You have got my heart on a string.

I haven’t even met you and you

You have got my heart on a string.

You are brightening my senses

Ignoring all my defenses

You have got my heart on a string.

The moon calls birds to fly, depart

Violin strings that pull a heart

Love’s the grace that feels like a dart

My bond with you will never part

You have got my heart on a string.

I haven’t even met you and you

You have got my heart on a string.

You are brightening my senses

Ignoring all my defenses

You have got my heart on a string.
