she nods to sleep upon my chest
i gaze upon her face, fixated
these are the moments i like best
just us and not minding the rest

she puckers up and i give in
her purity so inundating
but when i try to fish for praise
she puts me firmly back in place

i can't forget the day when she and i
opened up each other's eyes
and helped each other learn to fly
and after all that, she asks me why

why i love her then she goes unraveling tangled pieces
of a past i know i can't relieve
and i can't help but smile at her and that abrupt inquiring
she will never know how deep i fell and am falling still

she says goodbye and i grow weak
they say i'm so emasculated
i nod my head and sport a grin
i didn't lose and we all win

and sometimes we do fall apart
reality's no bed of roses
but we take time to work it out
and never leave a thing to doubt

i can't forget the day when she and i
opened up each other's eyes
and helped each other learn to fly
and after all that, she asks me how

much i love her when it's better if i make her feel it
i never was as near to bliss as this
so i will show her how i'm grateful for what she's been giving
there's no end in sight to what i'll write
when it's for love

i can't forget the day when you and i
opened up each other's eyes
and helped each other learn to fly
and after all that, you ask me why

why i love you then you go unraveling
tangled pieces
of a past i know i can't relieve
and i will show you how i'm grateful for what
you've been giving
there's no end in sight to what i'll write
when it's for love
