You find me in
the busy of day;
no matter how
you find a way.
A brief moment
to send a kiss,
it’s the kind of thing
you never miss.
Every opportunity
you seek me out
and oh, the love
I feel throughout.
Even now,
while you’re asleep,
I feel your love
in dreams so deep.
Connected by
a force unknown;
you’ve become
my one true home.

If only everyone were like you,
but then you wouldn’t be so special to me.
It’s your uniqueness that makes me adore you,
and you’re all that I can see.
There isn’t another I’d rather spend my time with;
nobody else will ever do.
You’re the one I want to share my whole life with;
I just can’t live without you.

I live for the moments,
the rare ones with you,
sacred and special,
even though they are few.
And I hold on to those times,
keep them close to my heart,
so whenever you leave,
we’re never really apart.
I live for the moments,
the days that we share,
living and loving
with your smile right there.
And I’ll never stop wanting
to keep you close by my side;
the best times in life
are when we collide.
I live for the moments,
the times we’re alone;
we may not get them often,
but you are my home.
And I love you more
with every year that goes by,
you’re the reason I live
and the reason I sigh.

Having fewer friends
is often more,
close friendships
need caring for.
And the best way
to stay bonded and near
is by loving completely and
being sincere.
Lending your heart
or a sympathetic ear
can help eliminate
all sorts of fears.
And one good friend
is all we really need
for the heart to be happy
and blissfully freed.

When I couldn’t be there
to lose myself in you,
I knew my favorite song
would have to do.
Sometimes I’d let the words
rush over my skin,
remembering all the places
where we’d once been.
There were countless nights
I could only imagine you here,
and losing you in my life
was my greatest fear.
So I’d take solace
in my favorite song,
hopeful that the words
would carry me along.
Filled with a melody
so I could hold you in my heart,
I believed in earnest
that we’d never part.
