My life is judged by those I know,
Who helped me love and fully grow,
And raised my spirits when lost at sea,
But loved me most for being me.

My friends are those who always cared,
And know my faults and always shared,
The good - the bad and all the grey,
And held my hand and showed the way.

But I love them most for the times we've spent,
The laughter, tears, and for what they meant,
To me - my life and the things we've shared,
But I loved them most because they cared.

You have come to me from a distant land,
Dreamer of dreams, to fill my heart's desire,
Sweet music flowing from your nimble hand
That plays within to light my passion's fire.

A symphony of word and thought, you bring.
Excitement builds upon crescendo's sound,
Brought forth in tones to make my light heart sing
For all the beauty that, with you, I've found.

A life is changed in just an instant's time,
All darkness fled before that brilliant sun
That shines from spoken words of softest rhyme
And speaks of treasures only just begun.

This mystic meeting gives my heart a glow
That few have seen and only you will know.

I HAND IT OVER TO YOU...HOPING YOU WILL ACCEPT IT...PRAYING TO GOD ALMIGHTY...
YOU WILL BE CAREFUL AND PROTECT IT...I GENTLY PLACE IT IN YOUR HANDS...
AND YOU CURL YOUR FINGERS 'ROUND...I TELL YOU, YOU NOW OWN IT...
IN ME, IT CANNOT BE FOUND...YOU GRASP IT FIRMLY IN YOUR HAND...
AND GAZE INTO MY EYES...YOU REALIZE THIS TREASURE...AND THEN BEGIN TO CRY...
I AM WARMED AT THIS AND THANKFUL...THAT YOU CAN REALLY KNOW...
THAT THIS THING IN YOUR HAND...IS WHY I LOVE YOU SO...
A TEAR STREAKS UPON YOUR CHEEK...AND I BEGIN TO KISS IT AWAY...
YOU BRUSH MY HAND ASIDE...AND TELL ME WHAT YOU HAVE TO SAY...
"I WILL CARRY THIS GIFT...IN A GOLDEN CASE...I WILL NEVER ALLOW...
ANOTHER TEAR TO STREAK YOUR FACE..."I LOOK INTO YOU AND YOU INTO I...
I KNOW NOW THAT YOU DO NOT LIE...I TRUST IN YOU...I GAVE YOU THIS...
YOU PUT IT AWAY...AND BLOW A KISS...THIS IS WHAT I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR...
THIS IS MY BRAND NEW START...THIS GIFT I GIVE SO FREELY... IS ONLY BUT MY HEART...

Using my imagination
I could travel any place,
do impossible things,
sad memories I could erase.

It's impossible for me
traveling to a distant star,
only in my imagination
could I travel that far.

Flying with the eagles
or dancing on white clouds,
I could be known by everyone,
or just one in a crowd.

If I could snap my finger's
making all my wishes come true,
I would choose only one wish...
and that's always to be with you.

Who but you could hold me
and keep the world at bay
Who but you could scold me
In the nicest kind of way

Who but you could take my hand
and step into a dream
Who but you could bring such joy
enough to make me scream

Who but you could lead the way
through fantasies, part by part
Who but you could make me love
and open up my heart

Who but you could bring to earth
each and every star
Who but you would tell me
'I love you just the way you are'

None, not a single one
could do the things you do
I could never love another
