Katy (May I)
Katy’s got these eyes that light up half the sky
And a smile that illuminates the rest
From Michigan to Brooklyn Wisconsin to Tennessee
Still shinin’ bravely even when the sun sets
Katy has this voice ever since I was a boy
Somewhere in the distance I could hear
It’s subtle and it’s strong like the feathers of a swan
And makes all my confusion disappear
May I offer something beautiful anytime she needs
May I give her subtle tears of laughter and follow where she leads
May I not forgot her birthday and make her something sweet
May I always spell her name correctly and listen when she speaks
When I woke today I didn’t know the grace
She might give so quietly
Beautiful and strange it is now everything has changed
Never to return to how it used to be
And I may never know the brilliant afterglow
Or feel the heat of standing by her side
Still grateful I will be that for I once got to see
Both her darkness and her light
May I offer something beautiful anytime she needs
May I give her subtle tears of laughter and follow where she leads
May I not forgot her birthday and make her something sweet
May I always spell her name correctly and listen when she speaks
