CLOSE TO ME

When I awake from my dreams

on each new day morn

I turn and find you near to me

your body soft and warm.

I take you in my loving arms

and hold you close to me

for I can only face the day

knowing your love for me.

As I go about my days

life’s pressures all around

my thoughts drift back to you

and the love that we have found

I think of when you’re close to me

and all those things you do

till I just want the time to come

when I’m back home with you.

When the day is over

and I’m lying there with you

I take you in my arms again

feeling love for you

our hearts, entwined as one

two lovers in the night

and I will hold you close to me

until the morning light.
