Show Me Heaviside
Note: Lyrics for this song, Show Me Heaven, by Maria McKee. It was a song I loved as a little girl, and one I heard in my local shopping centre the other week. Now, I can't get enough.
There you go flashing fever from your eyes
Hey baby, come over here and shut them tight
I've watched him all nightHe sings with such strength and determination that it makes my mind swim. He dances with such liquid devotion that I can only wish to be as good as him.
The music builds around us with a fever pitch, and all too soon his eyes meet mine. He crosses the floor towards me, holding out his paw.
His movements flow into me, and we begin dancing as one being.
I'm not denying, we're flying above it all
Hold my hand, don't let me fall
He guides me around the floor, holding me like a delicate angel. His green eyes sparkle with the light of the Jellicle Moon. I know it's all meant to be.
You've got such amazing grace
I've never felt this way
For a brief moment, we part. I spin off toward the crowd, only just stopping in time. I turn, looking toward him. My arms ache for him, wanting to hold him now and forever.
Oh, show me heaven, cover me
Leave me breathless
Oh, show me heaven please
He moves toward me, his eyes sparkling. Once more, he takes my paw and guides me to the centre, and we begin dancing.
Here I go, I'm shaking just like the breeze
Hey baby, I need your hand to steady me
The music suddenly dies, and certain level of significance poses itself before us. A silent question with all the glory of a violent crescendo. I quiver with nerves as he takes my arm, raising it gently above my head. He nuzzles me.
I'm not denying, I'm frightened as much as you
Though I'm barely touching you
I've shivers down my spine
And it feels divine
The quivering subsides. I realise as I look into his eyes that there's nowhere else I'd rather be. My nerves dissipate into a smile as I turn to face him. His face, incredulous that I have granted permission, breaks into a smile.
Do you know what it's like to dream a dream
Baby hold me tight and let this be
Placing paws on my back, he gently lifts me into the air, signalling to all before us that we are now mates. Our friends around us smile, moving to join us in the centre. He lowers me gently. On the ground, I look up at him with such pride my heart could just burst.
He is breathless. "Are you sure?"
I smile to assure him. "Of course, Misto." I stroke the side of his face with my paw. "There nobody I'd rather be with."
He smiles. "I love you, Victoria."
Oh, show me heaven, cover me
Leave me breathless
Oh, show me heaven please
