You tell me things no one else can say,
You tell me you want me to be this way.
You show me sights of delightful surprise,
You show me the love hidden in your eyes.
You promise me a bright new life,
You swear to me I am your wife.
You say that there can be no escape,
You tell me that this is my fate.
You tell me I’m welcome to try,
Any escape that catches my eye.
You want to wrap me in fine jewelry,
Hug me, love me, watch me, do me.
You know me like no other can,
You read my mind and hold my hand.
You show me things that others would swoon,
You profess your love upon the moon.
And any other woman would subside,
On your romantic ride.
Castles, flowers, symphonies, chorus,
Candy, confetti, oh how you adore us.
You show me how others can be unfaithful,
You show how you can turn the table.
You tell me there could be only one,
To hold me at night and pray for the sun.
You show me your fire burning bright,
I feel passion all through the night.
You show me these things I will never see,
Because you are not standing in front of me.
