Pretty World

Before the sun
Before the heat
Before we untangle from our sheets
Before this summer day unfurls
Pretty world

Before the paper is dropped at the gate
Before the coffee, before we are late
Before dreams are lost like midnight pearls

Pretty world, pretty roses
Pretty smile morning light
Pretty eyes lazy curls
Pretty world

Before the traffic before the jets
Before the sound of your footsteps
Fades away like summer girls
Pretty World
