It's not that I wasn't happy without you here. It's just that now I can't picture how it was without you near. And promise can break, and feelings somehow change, and nothing's ever guaranteed - but the past is yesterday, and all that melts away with the way you look at me.
"I love you" lights a fire but it doesn't say what really counts - though a younger me thought that pretty words were what it's all about. But time has taught me things, and I've survived the rains and storms life threw at me. You came in like a wave, and here I stand amazed by the way you look at me.
Because tonight, I don't want our song to end. Everything's right, so keep pulling me close and then, oh then, with each kiss upon my lips, I can't say much but I'll say this - tonight, tonight, tonight, I don't want our song to end.
I've never been the best at admitting how I really feel. Always terrified, living gun shy that it won't be real. So I just want to say - no, I just have to say, that even if this doesn't last, I'm grateful for the way you made me live today instead of dwelling on my past.
