The room is dark, just the blue stars above
Cuddled up in my arms, a little sleepy head
My beautiful daughter, all warm and snug
Falling asleep, as we're tucked up in bed

Then selfishly I think 'I wish it was enough'
And at that a tear escapes, runs down my cheek
I'm glad for the darkness, covering my face
And that my little one is so close to sleep

My heart belongs to someone who's taken
But although I want more, it could never be
I don't want things to change from how they are
Yet the only man who'll ever complete me is he

My first thought in the morning, my last at night
A hundred times throughout each day
He is the one who helped me to my feet
And without him, I think I'd lose my way

How can we stay friends when I cry for him
Yet the thought of losing him is so much worse
The pain it would cause to walk away is immense
I guess for loving him that will be my curse

The stars align and there you are
So near, yet frightfully out of touch
Your hand, ready, made for mine
Your lips a balm to my wounds
Needed and wanted so much

Your soul, a glove to handle me
An understanding, so fresh, so desired
And I sink, willingly, into your eyes
Next to your heart, within your soul
I lose myself within you so deeply
That I finally find who I am

This heart and mind rage wildly in war
A battlefield causing carnage deep inside
Imperfect, taken, not even mine to choose
Yet somehow my heart chose you anyway

Impulsive, annoying, aggressive at times
The thought hadn’t even crossed my mind
Yet somehow you climbed my tall walls
Found the depths of my heart and crept inside

Need a hiding place, a refuge from all this
A place to erase you, yet all I do is think
Remember your kiss, lips hot against mine
But you were gone before I could even dream

Not strong or good enough to win your heart
Yet sentenced to spend each day by your side
Struggling hard to build these broken walls
My mind and heart raging on with the war inside

I want to lie under the sky with you
Count the stars when they turn blue
Breathe the heat day left behind
Cleanse my heart and clear my mind

Feel the breeze touch my face
Find your hand, let fingers lace
Nothing more and nothing less
Let my mind forget the rest

Watch the moon, phasing through
Feel the closeness here with you
Side by side, always there
A heart of gold to always care
