Analysis of I shared my love
I shared my heart but it's beat began to waver
Your sweet embrace was all I could favour
I shared my love for my words were too small
I'd written on your hand, in a book, on a wall
So I wrote in the sky 'Will you marry me' before I fall
It wasn't enough so I wrote in my eyes
With primrose pettles reflecting such lies
Because it wasn't enough for your soft cries
So the angels shone my message through the stars
From here to jupiter and back through mars
Interlacing it with dimensions and swirls of galactic roses and oceanic pearls
It wasn't enough so I wrote it in prayer to the God of life who was somewhere out there
And he wrote us a child into our world and said your creation my prescious is in here.
