From Me To We   (more light rock ballad than anything)

One early workday morning
when the Owl was flying home
and the dawn is full of wonders
I suddenly came to know.
You were a special flower
in the greenhouse of my soul
cause you'd wait for me for hours
but I never watched you grow.

chorus
Now everytime I look around
I see you growing leaps and bounds
and everytime you call my name
There's love in your voice again
Now I'm content to be with you
and do the things we used to do
From me to we I'm loving you.

I tried hard to win at life
Many nights found you alone
I couldn't see your heart receed
While I was far away from home
I thought you would share the spoils
So I didn't feel your grief
Almost lost you in this life
Caught you fading from the scene

chorus
Now everytime I look around
I see you growing leaps and bounds
and everytime you call my name
There's love in your voice again
Now I'm content to be with you
and do the things we used to do
From me to we I'm loving you.

bridge
the need for a new beginning
unfolded bold and clear
we were more than bedroom lovers
before my world of work appeared
So on a bridge across disaster
I crawled back to you in tears.

chorus
Now everytime I look around
I see you growing leaps and bounds
and everytime you call my name
There's love in your voice again
Now I'm content to be with you
and do the things we used to do
From me to we I'm loving you.

Yep, the guy realized what he had and was about to lose. There are still some happy endings out there. The work people put between them can be a killer if they don't do something about it.

Heaven is not that place where you go when you die... it's that time in your life when you actually feel ALIVE!!!

Hi Lori
Thanks for the positive comment.

I surely do hope nothing happens to your present relationship.

What eventually happens is that we just take on another set of problems in the future. Hardly worth it.
