I wonder why I do the things I do
I wonder why I do all I do for you
I want to wake in the mornings beside you
I want us to share our lives
I feel that time is slipping
Away from us oh so fast
I feel my Love is leaving
I need this thing to last
Why do I love you?
Why do I try?
Because the end reward
Money can never buy

Some people say we should quit
Some to stay the course
Some to cut our losses
Some to not beat a dead horse
Some may call us stupid
Some may call us nuts
Some may be supportive
When we get into ruts
My love is like an ocean
That stretches far and wide
I long to feel your body
Lying by my side
I want to feel you breath
Upon the top of my skin
A lonely lingering touch
Above the sensory din
I need to say I want you
I want to say I care
I really, very much love you
With my heart laid open, bare

I go to sleep at night
Wondering what the day brings
I toss and turn as I sleep
Dreaming of you and things
I do not have you beside me
I don’t know what I should do
But I know that when I wake up
It brings me one day closer to you

It’s hard not being with you
It’s hard with you down there
My heart explodes within me
Sometimes more than I can bear
I want to feel your body
As I hold you oh so near
I long to feel your heartbeat
To ease my stupid fear
We need to be together
All the rest of our life
I want to be your cover
My Beautiful, loving wife

We’ve had our ups and downs
We’ve had our good and bad
We’ve tried to make it work
In all the time we’ve had
I’ve learned to live without you
I’ve learned to live alone
I’ve heard the hurt I’ve caused
Every time you’re on the phone
So lonely it seems
I look at your chair
No life nothing right
And wish you were there
The laughter we shared
The dreams that we had
The failings of one
Caused all to be bad
Her smell lingers in the air
A sweet, sweet odor
The memory of a caress
A touch, a kiss
Her smile holds fast in my mind
A ray of sunshine
A vision of hope
Beside the gloom
I want you to want me
But know not what to do
I need you to need me
The way that I need you
I want to see you smile
The way you used to do
I need to have you smile
Just between me and you
I want to be the man you need
I need to be the man you want
I wish I knew how to get to there
I wish I knew what to do
I need your help to guide me
To what we both can be
