Whenever I’m with you
The sun shines a little brighter
And the nights aren’t as cold
When the days are full of pain
It’s nice to have your hand to hold
The first time I see your face
Is the highlight of my day
Looking into your cool blue eyes
I just hope you never go away
I know it hasn’t been that long
But you’ve taken my breath away
And these feelings are so strong
We’re so full of laughter and passion
That I have no room to complain
I told myself not to risk it
Said not to take a chance right now
This wasn’t a risk I was willing to take
But by the time I realized that
It was far too late
You were kissing me and asking me to stay
And one moment in your arms
Was a moment too many
I had already fallen too far
That first weekend spent together
Was quite the time, I’d say
Throughout the night and into the day
I was falling by the hour
Love was the tragedy and you
Were the only cure
I’d like to say I’m not attached
But I think you agree we’ve bonded
We are so cute, you make me laugh and
I can’t find a flaw
Perhaps that there isn’t enough time in the day?
Maybe it’s the way I always hate goodbye
Or the departure of our lips
Yeah, that always gets to me
This love is so new
Pure and untainted
Flavored with a sweetness others often wish for
Is it always this way in the beginning?
I don’t recall ever feeling this
There are no footsteps for us to follow
There’s no guide or map or trail
Sometimes we might fall down
We’ll mess up but we won’t fail
I can find your hand in the darkest hallway
And your lips in a crowded room
I’m not sure how you do it
Or what power you possess
I don’t know how you fulfill all your promises
But I’m glad you do
And I feel lucky to be able to say I love you
I really, truly, swear I do
I cross my fingers and my toes
That nothing comes between us
I’ll kiss your cheek and pick a rose
I’ll let my past gather dust
and set my caged soul free
If you’ll take a chance on me
I can’t take the pain
But I’ll take your hand
With a look of reassurance and a kiss on your lips
I hope to find a place
In your arms and in your heart, to stay
I’ve built these ten foot walls
To protect my own heart
You scale them so easily
And I don’t know why or how
But I’ve trusted you from the start
I just hope to not regret this
I swear I won’t ever lie
But bear with me when things get tough
Because I always come back
I’m never gone forever
And once I love you,
It’s almost permanent
And when I love,
My love is strong
And with you is where I belong
I guess that’s the point of this
No matter how it happened
Or where this goes
This will always be a fact
That today, right now, in this moment
Somebody loves you
And it’s me, today
