I Want To Be Everything

See everything?

The smile you bring

With the compassion in your eyes

It's really no surprise

When I say

I want to stay

Forever

I want to be

Together

In every way



What do you say?

The soft words you speak

With soft spoken words and tear in your eyes

It's really no surprise

When you say

You don't want to fight

Not ever

You want to be

Together

Through every night



And if I had one last sentence

To say to you

I'd want to say to you

What I've recently been trying to...



And if we had once last breath

To take in our lives

I'd want to give you mine

And whisper that 'You're doing fine, don't say anything'



See everything?

The smile you bring

With the compassion in your eyes

It's really no surprise

When I say

I want to stay

Forever

I want to be

Together

In every way



And if I had one last sentence

To say to you

I'd want to say to you

"No matter what you believe or what you think,

I know it deep in my heart

I want to be

Everything

A smile to bring

And make you happy

I want to be

Everything

I'll be there for you

When things aren't going right

I will be

Anything

That you need me to be

And most of all

I want you to know

That I love you

And I want to hold you

So close..

Tonight"
