BECAUSE I LOVE YOU

It’s because I love you that I miss you all day long

It’s because I need you that I worry when you’re gone

I’m reminded how I want you when I see a picture of your face

I know there could never be another to lay beside me in your place.

I wonder if you’re lonely, missing me like I miss you

To hold you in my arms tonight, I’d swim the oceans through.

I don’t think I could survive if you didn’t fill my day

There’s no other man alive I could ever love this way.

And when the night comes calling and my tears begin to flow

I remember that you’re with me in my heart, my mind, my soul.

So when there’s space between us, I’ll fall down upon my knees

And pray that God will guide you back safely home to me.
