Your sleep is undisturbed
By snoring in the night
You get the rest you need
Until the morning light

I slept upon the couch
A show of love for you
So you could rest your head
And get the slumber due

I wish that you could see
I wish that you would know
I do this all for love
So that our union grows

You sit across the room
A beauty to behold
The way you hold your head
Is lovely truth be told

The smile upon your lips
The twinkle in your eye
Shows that you are happy
And no one can deny

Your face shines in the night
Your eyes the deepest blue
Your hair keeps you lively
And makes you just be you

As I navigate the waters
Around my solitary life
I must stop to pause and listen
To the fell anguish of my strife

I find a cause for remembrance
Among memories of the past
I hope and pray with all my strength
That these frail spectres truly last

I climb the road to my desire
The meaning of my abject life
The desire of my beating heart
This keen attention to my wife

I long to hold her in my arms
So deep into the darkest night
To comfort and give her safety
As the evening takes its flight

I hope to make a stronger bond
Than ever there has been before
My frailest hope and greatest need
For her to open wide the door

Those things we used to do
Those things we used to say
Why oh please tell me why
Again they can’t be that way

The hopes and dreams we shared
The goals we’d striven for
The marriage that we vowed
Before we closed the door

I want to share them still
Our hopes and dreams fulfilled
Our marriage back together
By ourselves as we rebuild

You told me you love me
But not in love anymore
Say you can’t see a way
To find what was before

This is not the first time
These words dropped from your lips
Months ago you said them
Your hands upon your hips

I understand your meaning
Even though you think I don’t
I just refuse to believe
I can’t, I shan’t, I won’t

Love we had together
For years until our fall
The love that we both shared
So we could give our all

Talking on the telephone
Proposed on Waikiki
Aimed to love you dearly
And give you my heart’s key

Honeymooned in Gatlinburg
The next year Niagara Falls
Why won’t you remember?
What fear is in those halls?

What would it really take
You and I to be one?
How can we ever find
The time to make it, hon?

Some people love their drugs
Alcohol for others will do
All that I know is this
I am addicted to you!

I love you in the mornings
In the evenings I also do
I love you in the twilight
And with the morning dew

I love to see you smiling
About the things you love
I love to see you happy
My beautiful, lovely dove

With you I love to shop
Spending time just with you
I love to watch you sleep
As somtimes you softly coo

I love to rub you muscles
I love to give you things
I love just being your husband
Among the great blessings

I love to sit and hold you
Deep into the night
I love you all the time
Even when we fight

I give you my true promise
That I will be true blue
If only you will let me
Be with forever with you

The years have treated you kindly
And of that there is no doubt
This day of yours is special
A good day you should flout

I wish I was there with you
To celebrate this day
To hold and hug you tight
Till come whatever may

I find myself adrift
O’er what we both could do
If ever I had a wish
I wish to be with you

I love every inch of your body
I love every inch of your hair
What oh what more can I do
To show you how much I care?

The best is what I want for you
The best is what I can to give
Why oh why do we do this
When together we can live?

I try to be the best man
In that I sometimes fall short
I want to be that best man
But stupidly I do thwart

Promise to be your your husband
In every way I can
Oh please give us this last chance
For me to be your man
