Where do I begin ?

To tell the story of how great a love can be,

The sweet love story that is older than the sea,

The simple truth about the love she brings to me,

Where do I start ?



With her first hello!

She gave a meaning to this empty world of mine,

Thered never be another love, another time,

She came into my life and made the living fine,

She fills my heart . . .



She fills my heart with very special things,

With angels songs , with wild imaginings,

She fills my soul with so much love,

That anywhere I go, Im never lonely,

With her along, who could be lonely ?

I reach for her hand, its always there . . .



How long does it last ?

Can love be measured by the hours in a day ?

I have no answers now, but this much I can say,

I know Ill need her 'till the stars all burn away

And shell be there . . .



Shell be there . . .
