You're Everything to Me

I was in despair –
Alone, no-one to care,
No lover, not a wife,
Not having a life.

Then you came along –
Gentle and strong,
Patient and quiet,
Wooing me right.

I bloom in your love –
Like a flower with the sun above,
I open my petals to your light,
My heart melts at our sight.

Now I love you dearly –
To think that I nearly
Didn’t want to see
How you could be.

Oh, how I love you!
Oh, how I need you!
Can you not see
You’re everything to me?
