I'm happy just thinking about you
And the life that we have shared for a while
Every day we are together, it gets better and better
My heart's frozen like a fetter to your smile
And just like the first day we met dear
When you showed me all the colors in your eyes
I've been watching your love flowin' like the river breeze a' blowin'
I need a dam to keep it in and bright blue skies
And I will give to you what you want me to
If it grows in the garden
Then for you I'd pick the fruit
I would like to see, all the selfishness in me
Go away, and with you I'd like to stay
I've never claimed to be near perfection
And certainly you see just what I am
But I'm trying to be honest, and honestly I love you
And I'll honestly keep on the best I can
Your hair is like the willows near the water
Softer than the sunrise is your skin
You're certainly a keeper but your love goes much deeper
I've seen your boldest beauty lies within
I'll sing songs for you how you want me to
If it somewhere on the scale
Then for you I'd sing the tune
I would like to see, all the selfishness in me
Go away, and with you I'd like to stay
If I've ever wandered please forgive me
I've drifted very far from your shore
The trap doors strongly trip me up, but when I drink
Your loving cup, your anchor strongly pulls me back much more
I've invented words to help me listen
To act like swords against the slaying sounds
Of the temptresses and tyrants
Who rob our love like pirates
And who make us both forget the love we found
I'll make war for you if I need to
If it comes near our hearts
Then I'll cut it at it roots
I would like to see, all the selfishness in me
Go away, and with you I'd like to stay
