The One Reason

My reason for living

My reason for life

The reason I go through

Trouble and strife

My love was gone

My love is now here

For five long years

It has never been this clear

For this reason, I am sure

That my love is this pure

She is beautiful and my heart is just crying

That my love is not here

And her heart is not prying

Holding back great sorrow

I am always looking forward to tomorrow

When I might get to see her

And finally flee with her

To another day, to another place

To where i can look into

Her shining beautiful face

The one and only reason

That I can keep myself sane

Is the love that she brings out in me

Has never been shamed

My heart is in love now

For once and at last it is true

And I just cannot stop thinking of you

My heart is yours now

to comfort and please

I will take yours and get on my knees

My prayers he will answer

being swift and quick

He will show that my love is not a trick

God will listen, I know he does

I will ask him for his comfort and trust

And if he grants me my

one most important wish

I will know that I have found my true happiness
