Ballad for Valentine's Day : : "In My Darkest Night"

vs. 1   I love you.  I will always love you.

        You make me know I'm loved and understood.

        You are Love. and Life, my all.  In a dream-come-true.

        I live, I love, I grow; what I've found in you

                                        is beyond good!



Chorus:  In my darkest night I seek only one star,

         despite any streaking comets that may move

                                       through my life.



         True Inspiration to me is what you are.

         You fill my past, present and future with Love,

                                       my heart's true wife.



vs. 2  You planted and nurtured in me this tender heart.

       It reaches for you; it's yours; Love is its sweet duty.

       Its weaknesses you love; you've strengthened each part;

       You believe in me; your sweet faith makes dreams start;

                                        you are beyond beauty.

(chorus)



vs. 3  How does a man thank a woman for her heart?

       How is the love-of-a-lifetime confessed?

       Gratitude and Imagination don't know where to start!

       Completion dispels emptiness; this is Love's finest Art

                                        humbly confessed.

(chorus)
