By Being Simply You
You make my heart sing an ancient love song,
And I know that with you is where I belong.
Your sweet gentle touch sends thrills my body over,
No one else in this world could ever be my lover.
Your strong arms around me, shielding from all harm,
Darling, no man possesses one-tenth of your charm.
All the wrongs in my life you transmuted into right,
And all the darkness in life has suddenly turned bright.
The tender warmth of true love, in me you revive,
Feelings once dead have come back alive.
Your essense is as lovely as the graceful yellow rose,
With you I find the solace of romantic repose.
As long as I live; until the day I expire,
You will always remain my only desire.
The love that I have and the feelings of joy,
No power on earth could ever destroy.
As I appreciate the elegance and beauty of each flower,
So I cherish you honey, each moment of every hour.
The surge of the great waters in the Pacific Ocean,
Doesn't compare to your stirring of my loving emotions.
Emotions, once damaged and resolutely inert,
Suppressed and repressed to avoid further hurt,
Dear heart, these emotions you have somehow unleashed,
And all the love I have for you will never decrease.
To a woman who through life had only been drifting,
Your devotion and passion has been truly uplifting.
So I have no ambition, no goals or endeavors,
Except to love and prize you, now and forever.
And know that there's nothing you ever had to do.
You won my love honey, by being simply you.
