If I

If I couldn't have you, there would be nothing to want
Nothing to aim for, no shining stars
If I couldn't have you, there would be no true love
No love to cherish, no love to want

If I didn't know you and I didn't know pain
I would not know anything worth living again
If I didn't know you and I didn't fight the fight
I would not know the difference between alright and right

If I hadn't met you, memorized your face, memorized your hands
What else could I strive for, life would be so bland
If I didn't know you then I wouldn't know the pain
Of missing you and waiting to see you again

But if I didn't know you then I wouldn't know the pain
That ends when I see your face again
Ends when your touch embraces me again
The pain that ends when you promise my heart is in good hands...

You And I

The pain of not having you by my side
Will slowly begin to reside...
As I know that time draws near
To the next time that you are here...
I miss you and I see your face
No matter where I look, in any place...
I cannot help it, I cannot fight
The feeling that no matter what- we are right...
And I cannot give in to doubt
I absolutely cannot go without...
The love you give, the love you bring
You've given me so much of everything...
And I am here and you know that
You don't have to worry, in no time flat...
I'd be at your side if ever you call
I'd give to you, I'd give my all...
So baby know this as you prepare
To sleep tonight, though I am not there...
That I have your heart highly protected
You have my word, my love is invested...
And you and I, we're meant to be
You and I, we're all I see...
You and I are the only thought I keep
As I prepare at night to dream in sleep...

Mad Love

My heart flat lines when you aren't here
In times like these I see it all clear
And though my heart does break a bit
I've got this mad love, I can handle it

Nothing says love like the look in your eyes
And when you smile, it's no surprise
That you have me taken, you have me hung
This great, mad love just keeps me sprung

I look at you and I'm full inside
Filled by feelings I can't really describe
Filled with grace and filled with pride
Filled with beautiful, mad love I cannot hide

You take me to places I have never seen
You bring me to levels higher than a dream
You've shown me things I could never see
You and your mad love have enveloped me

Here in this place, this way, this time
I am so grateful to call you mine
I hope you can see when you look into my eyes
You've got me wearing mad love that I can't disguise

Not A Single Thing

There is not a single thing that could keep me from you. This love is something I didn't feel coming, something that simply grew. And now that you are here and you are in my life this way, there is not a single thing that could keep me away.

There is not a single thing that I would not do for you. To see you smile, to see the light in those eyes, nothing I wouldn't do. This love we have, this incredible bond, you are all I could need and want, and this is something I could have never thought up, not in my wildest dreams.

There is nothing I truly believe more than that you were made for me...

Before I Sleep

My day, every day, begins with you
I wake up already thinking of you
I lay there a while and day dream of you
I get up, I eat, sleep, breathe the thought of you...

My day is spent wishing that you were there
Just to see you, I'd go anywhere
And being without you is so hard to bear
So I think about how amazing it will be the next time we share...

Before I sleep, I think of you
I lay in bed and I miss you
I wish your face was next to mine
So I could kiss you before sleep each night...
Before I sleep, I day dream of the ways
That I would be grateful to wake with you to days
When the sun shines and I open my eyes
And I look at you and I realize
That all I want and all I need
Is laying right there next to me...
