I never knew
until I met you...
Just how sweet a kiss could be.
I wish my lips
had kissed no one but you.
But you knew from the start
that this ragged heart
had been abused a time or two.
But, it never skipped a beat
until I met you.

I thought I was well seasoned.
I thought I knew the score.
I thought I had tasted all love had to hold.
But when I look in your eyes...
I realize
It was all a game before
No other lover ever touched my soul.

When our love was new
I treated you
like a rare and precious jewel.
I'll always treat you the way I did back then.
Around us...years have passed
Treasured times that moved too fast.
If I had one wish...
I'd do it all again.

When my path is filled with darkness...
You're my guiding light.
And I'll always be your shelter
through all the storms of Life.
I hope to see each tear drop...
Before they reach your eyes.
My want for you will never stop.
My love will never die.

Time can sometimes dull the eyes
and routine numbs the soul.
Lovers end up burdened by the weight
of a love that once was gold.
You thrilled my eyes the day we met...
and I still see you that way.
I swear I'm going to love you
Forever and a day.
