Forever Mine

Would I but make the sun rise West
To give you joy and help you rest
And make for you the sweetest wine
If you would say forever mine

And ever on to be true
Never to abandon you
If you would but say forever mine
I would sew a soft blanket from fishing twine

Sweet and onward your caress
I am scarcely at my best
On and on I yearn for you
And forever to be true

Put your head down to rest
Here in this soft blanket nest
And here I will watch over you
Until the morning is born anew

Heartfelt

We loved each other, but didn’t know where to go
But now that we’re here together, I just want you to know
I love you, I love you, with all my heart and soul
I love you, I love you, I just wanted you to know
These times have been tough on us, and on you most of all
But we’ll make it together here, our union makes us strong
I love you, I love you, my beloved love and dear
I love you, I love you, I’m glad that you are here
I know that I have hurt you, and that I’ve made you cry
But though things have been rocky, you never said goodbye
I love you, I love you, you are my very best
I love you, I love you, let’s put the past to rest

Good Morning Beautiful

Good morning beautiful
You’re looking good today
Good morning beautiful
So many words to say

I love you with my heart, oh truly
I love you with my soul
I love the way you smile at me
I thought I’d let you know

Good morning beautiful
You’re looking good today
Good morning beautiful
A surprise is on its way

Our romance was the whirlwind kind
My head spins so fast
It’s time to slow things down now
We’ve eternity to last

Good morning beautiful
You’re looking good today
Good morning beautiful
I’ve final words to say

I’d not give this up for anything
You own my heart and soul
We’ve reached the final stanza here
My mate, my life and more

Good morning beautiful
You’re looking good today
Good morning beautiful
There’s nothing more to say

Numbered Stars

For the stars numbered in the sky
My love I’ll take you high so high
To take them down one by one
In your hands a miniature sun
In the dark to comfort you
That my love always will be true
And though in light they fade away
To give up to the new day
It is at night that they will shine for you
My love always will be true

Heartbeat

In the middle of a heartbeat
Between one beat and the next
Time
Stands
Still

An eternity passes
Between one beat and the next
A moment that lasts forever
This second
You and I

I could be lost in your eyes forever
Never again alone
In this second that lasts a thousand years
I’ve finally found my home
Here with you

Darkness

In the silence of darkness, I hear you call to me.
Your golden voice piercing the clouds of my loneliness
And making me whole
Can I go on without you
Can I exist without you
What is life without you
A paradise lost
A doomed ship, tossed about at sea
What is life with you
A colorful sunset
A sigh filled with love
Beauty surrounds you
Darkness withers in your radiant presence
But what am I
Am I doomed to wander in your shadow
Forever unnoticed by your bright self
Can I step forward
Can I kneel at your side
Can I be your knight, your champion
Or am I too small
Do your eyes pass over me toward stronger shores
I am an island, and you are the ocean around me
You are the sun that shines down on me
You brighten my world by existing
You batter my shores, my senses
Your every breath exciting
Leaving me hoping
Hoping that with your next glorious breath
That you may speak my name and call me to your side
