I woke up this morning
with you on my mind,
and fresh memories
of another perfect night.

I'm in heaven when I'm
spending time with you.

There's nothing on this Earth
that I'd rather do.

Outside the rain's falling
but I don't mind.
Because anytime you're around
the whole world looks so bright.

You make me feel alive,
like nobody else ever could.

You make it easy for me
to see the beauty and the good in this world and so

- -

I don't ever want what we've got now to end.
Above all else, you're the perfect friend,

and like a deer, anytime you appear
in a perfect scene,  you can still add the finishing touch.
When you're here anything that I fear
melts away - and you know how I feel girl - I love you so much but..

- -

It doesn't matter if I can't keep you to myself.
It doesn't matter if I gotta see you leaving with somebody else.

I still want you on my side
in this game they call life.
You're the piece that's been missing
for all of this time

and it took me so long
to work out what was wrong.
But I'd never have known had you
not come along, and so...


It doesn't matter if I can't hold you in my arms all night.
It doesn't matter if I cant wake up to your smile in the morning light.

There's so much in this world
left to do and to see.
It could only be better
in your company.

So though I can't pretend
that my heart will relent,
it's OK.
I just never want what we have now to end...

My perfect friend.
Written for a love over which only our friendship presides.
