Looking for love-looking at faces
Looking for love in all the wrong places
Thinking that I could find love in a bar
The worst place by far.
   Gathering all my thoughts on what I could do
That is when I saw you.
The walk you walked was a walk of pride
With a big smile and your head held high
   You walked past me and I smelled your perfume
It was a smell which would not leave you too soon
I became attracted to you like a bee to a flower
I knew right then that you had the power
To make me give up the search of mine
To find in you a love divine
     I ran in back of you and asked you your name
You looked at me as if I was insane.
You looked at me from head to toe
And told me where I could go.
  I apologized for my boldness and that the sight of you caught my eye
And that I would continue to try
And if I had to climb the highest mountain or swim the deepest sea
Then that’s the way it would have to be.
But I would not stop trying to get to know you
And if a fool I had to be -until the day that you would look at me
I would do anything that you want- to get to make you smile
And to hear that laughter-this is all that I am after.
   With my craziness you started to laugh and told me that you did not want
To relive the past. Of being hurt and shedding the tears
This was something that you feared.
    You laid down the ground rules from the start
And I accepted it with all my heart.
Soon after we got to know each other and your fears slowly diminished
You opened your heart and I saw what was in it.
A love so deep and so profound that it knocked me to the ground.
In my heart you will be- keeping my heart company.
Looking for love-I no longer seek
Because of you-I am complete.
