AN AWESOME LOVE

If I was a dinosaur

And you were a jet

Theres a chance,

A good chance.

That we'd

Never have met.

If I was a river

And you were the sky

If I was down low

And you were up high

Or if I was an apple

An you were a sundae

If you were a Wednesday

And I was a Monday

If you were spring seasons

And I was

The fall

We might never

Have

Gotten together

At all.

But we aren't all of those things

Your're you

And I'm me

And we're as together

As together can be

And you know

I'm aglow

With a smile on my face

When I wonder

What magic

You'll make of this place

Of this town

Of this world

You'll transform your surroundings!

That spirit inside you

Is truly astounding.....

And when I'm beside you

I'm leaping

And bounding

So proud

I can hardly

Contain my heart

Pounding

I LOVE YOU

I LOVE YOU

In so many ways

Over thousands of years

Over billions of days

I love you so much

I would scream it from mountains

And dance like a fool in

The coldest town fountains

I LOVE YOU!

I would paint it on walls

In colors so bright

That they'll glow in the dark

With "I love you" all night

I would march through the rain

I'd jump out of a plane

Put

The

World

On

My

Back

I'll

Still

Race

Down

A

Train

And I'll stand down whole armies

Defending your name

But you know

That's not all that this love is about

Sometimes it's a whisper

When you feel you could shout

Or just

Being around

When the others

Have gone

Or about

Letting go

When you want

To hold on

It's about living life

With such strength and emotion

And knowing that waves

Are just part of the ocean

And that ocean

That ocean

Goes on

For forever

Just like the love

That has brought us together

I LOVE YOU

I LOVE YOU

When I'm holding your hand

I LOVE YOU

I LOVE YOU

When you're making a plan

When you're thinking a thought

When you're dancing a dance

When you're just hanging in

By the seat of your pants

I LOVE YOU

I LOVE YOU

I'll say it again

Tell all the strangers

To tell all their friends

Make it a song

And we'll all sing along

I LOVE YOU

I LOVE YOU

You make me feel strong

You make me feel

Younger

You make me feel

Brave

You make me

Feel Something

These words can't contain

And if you were the future

And I was the past

If I was too slow

And you were too fast

If you were a cloud

And I was a ghost

If you were long distance

And I was up close

I'd still love you

No matter what sense

It would make

I'd love you whenever

Whatever it takes

I'd love you no matter

'Cause You're you

And I'm me

Together forever

In love as can be.
