A River
My love is like a river flowing from my heart to yours
With each passing moment my love eternally pours
You ask me to explain it, I don’t think there’s a way
I just feel it deep inside me each and every day
I cannot count the reason I hold you so very dear
My heart races with excitement every time that you are near
You are my inspiration the reason for my smile
You are my motivation to go that extra mile
If I think of life without you the blackness it does bring
It feels so cold and lonely even the birds will not sing
I cannot think of living without your smiling face
I feel so safe inside your arms and warm in your embrace
Sometimes I may not show it or say it everyday
But I wanted you to know that I love you in every way
I want to be beside you when I fall asleep at night
And feel your body next to me in the early morning light
I wish I could express the deep emotions I do feel
I know without a second thought that our love is real
You are the air that I breath the sunshine in my life
And I count my blessings everyday that you made me your wife
