Be The Only One

 

I carry your heart with me

That gently stars with a kiss …

You are my passion, you are my dreams

You are my sweetheart

I love you my prince!

Deep inside my heart

Is a secret that I own

A longing to find someone and no longer feel alone

Who will be there to embarrasses me

And kiss away my tears …

Secure me from uncertainties

And free me from my fears …

I love you today

I will love you tomorrow

I will love you forever

Day by day

Night by night

Kiss by kiss

Touch by touch

Step by step

I fall in love

 

Words could never demonstrate

the way you make me feel …

Each day we’re given choices

as we walk a narrow path

And at the end of everyday

we know this love will last

 

Just For You

 

Every time you look into my eyes

It makes me fall in love with you all over again …

I love you more than words can show

I think about you

more than you could ever know …

I will love you as long

as the sun burns and the moon shines

it’ s light into the dark night

I will love you until the end of time …

My love for you never ending

Passionate, burning like a flame

Not a day goes when I don’t think about you

Not a moment passes away when missing you

You are my angel from heaven sent to me make me smile

and I need you by my side

You are my partner and my friend

You are the shoulder that I cry on

You’re the one I choose forever

And the one I had choose again

Just to say I love you

never seems enough

I love the sound of your voice

and the way that we touch

 

I Love You Is All I Want To Say

 

I love you is all I want to say

Silently it happens, without a clue

I am still thinking the passion in your eyes

I want to feel your touch

and be in your arms again …

Ever since you stepped into my life

you’ve filled it with love, warmth and lots of precious moments …

I love you’re warm smile and you’re kind thoughtful way

The joy that you bring to my life everyday …

You are near, even if I don’t see you

You are with me, even if you are far away

You are in my heart, in my thoughts, in my life, always …

I love your voice that I hear in darkness

You hear my prayer … and you came …

And although I can’t see you in the dark

you give me light … so I dreamed of you again …

You are my now, my is, my was

As the sun rises in the East

So the breaking dawn of my love, begins …
