Light Of Love
We've known each other for years
comforted one another shedding tears
I've watched you cry and held your hand
always there as your true friend
Both with others
yet, staying close together
sharing secrets and talking about times getting better,
it hurt me so
knowing he treated you so bad
broke my heart
seeing you so sad
My marriage was over long ago
but I watched you hang on
because you felt you had nowhere else to go,
but in my heart I knew it wasn't so
all you had to do was look into my eyes and see,
this light of love in me
Friends we were
friends we are
and always will be,
I will always be there to pick up the pieces of your misery
but baby, when I hold you in my arms
can't you feel what I feel?
I know the way you hold me back tight,
it has to be real
So many times I've felt the closeness of your lips
seen and felt the desire we have held back to kiss.
Memories of a night we hugged
and felt our bodies stir,
only to have you jump up and rush out in a blur
So are you staying with him for the love of a memory
or are you running away from love that has grown with me?
I am your friend, baby
but I love you so much more,
give our love a chance and I promise it will soar
I promise from my heart to love you unconditionally
always treat you soft and tenderly
I will always make you feel special
you always will be,
I promise to love you completely
Just look at this light of love in me
just look,
I know you can see.
Take my hand,
I know you can feel
just touch,
this light of love is real
I will settle for your tears
if that's the way you want it to be
your hand as only a friend
if that's what you want,
and I will be here no matter what
always, with this light of love in me.
