I Hold You Close

I hold you close 
I keep you
tight to my chest 
No one will come
between our love 
you are the one 
the best. 

Our love will live 
into tomorrow 
all the days ahead 
for you are my love 
the one I live for 
long for 
forgetting all the rest.

You Are The One, The Special One

You are the one, the special one
That makes me catch my breath
Lost for words to express
The love I have
In my beating breast,

No words remain to take me
Any closer to a heaven on earth
As I lie side by side
With my dear sweet love
The only one I do love.

A love I adore, breathe
And live for
You are the one, the special one
My Valentine
I’ll cherish evermore.

Confusion, Despair

Confusion, despair
Don’t know
Which way to twist.

Fighting heartache
Fighting a vacuum
No air.

Survival is the call
Even if it may feel
Your back’s to the wall.

Stand true
Stand and know
There’s only one you.

You are the one
That’ll come thru
Brave, wonderful you.
