There is love and love
Is that word exclusive for one kind?
I think not for love is always true
But everything I thought I knew
Changed the day that I met you
I've been in love before
But never felt anything like this
You are my entire world; my life
As a rose needs the rain
So too do I need you
My arms long to hold you
I tremble at the thought of this
To love you with all that I am
Tenderly with all my heart
Gently with all my soul
Fiercely with all my passion
The day loses its luster
The night has no stars
All things lose their flavor
Unless they're shared with you
Don't let fear rule your heart
Accept the fullness of my love
For it holds my entire self
All that is the best in me
All that I would ever want to be
I freely give to you
My last and truest love
