Never Let Go

I can not even begin to understand the feelings aroused by You...
Every smile and every laugh and every hug you've given to me
Almost seems like for once the Heavens are smiling on me.
The stars never shined so bright,
the Night has never felt so welcoming.
Hold me close and breathe your Love into my hair
Kiss my tender lips and fill my lungs with air.
Tell me of fairy tales and unending love
Tell me of nights as we hold each other close.
Make my tears only happy ones, tell me Love never dies.
Give me strength to face the cruel hard world.
Never let me go, never let me go.
Sweep me off my feet as you have with sweet spoken words.
Search my eyes for the Love they surely show.
Kiss me
and Never let me go.
