I think of you so often
Many memories flood my mind
Simple thoughts of loveliness
So gentle and so kind

I hold onto these visions
With conviction and desire
For you, my love, are the one
Who builds and stokes the fire

The tenderness of your touch
The gentleness in your soul
Both have nursed my aching heart
And filled an empty hole

I owe my life to you, my love,
I didn’t even have a clue
No one has ever done to me
The things you wonderfully do

I tell you this so you will know
As surely as the tides ebb and flow
My love for you is real and true
I have waited all my life for you.
