My Affection

I see my face in the mirror
And wonder if you think I am beautiful
I feel the beating of my heart
And wonder if yours flutters like mine
I feel the wind carress my face
And think that the world is wonderful
And every time I see you
I feel like flying oh so high

You've stolen my heart
And every ember in my soul
You've warmed my mind to everything
I used to be so cold
I would gladly take your hand
If you ever offered it to me
You've given me everything
In a world I thought I'd never see
And in my life you live
Like a presence never-leaving
I feel light as a bird in the sky
No longer a human being
As long as you're here to cheer my day
I'll remember to die for you
I'll try to stay happy
For every moment you love me, too

I find you through the swirling crowd
And dive into a state of ecstasy
I hear your voice say my name
And feel cherished by every bit of you
I sigh so contentedly
Just because you're there for me
And I drown deep in my dreams
To love you the way I never do
Because your love is there
I'm living my old fantasies...
Just because you love me
