Analysis of A Lifetime With You



Touch my heart to let me die
but if you will it I will survive,
for in your eyes i have lost my way,
captured by your beauty each passing day.

For I couldn't help but fall in love with you,
now my heart is trouble and I don't know what to do,
for if i take this chance to let you know,
would i be made a fool for loving you so?

Still your eyes speaks to me with subtle grace,
moving within me this feeling i can't replace,
for i have endured many sleepless night,
to dream of you and wish i could hold you tight.

And like a rainbow of flowers falling from the sky,
I long to kiss your lips and watch the days go by,
when i'll be loving you with no regrets,
to gaze into your eyes and remember a smile I won't forget.

For all it takes is a simple hello,
to save my heart and let me know,
that such a dream can really come true,
as long as I can share a lifetime with you.
