Fleeting Serenade

I could chisel my love into a mountain But mountains errode away If I carved my love in solid ice It would only last a day I could write my love up in the sky But the wind would soon displace I could write my love into a book But letters can be erased I could shout my love into the air Sound waves expand and fade I could sing my love in melody A fleeting serenade I could express my love with a simple glance Even though my eyes can't see For if they could, I'd have realized That you do not love me.
