Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Hello my friend
It's morning, time to wake now
Your body and mine entwined will have to break now
I want your flesh, your warmth to stay beside me
Oh, how I wish you could be deep inside me
[Verse 2]
Show me your eyes, your love most tender feeling
And I'll give you mine, be truthful and revealing
[Verse 3]
'Cause it's you that I love
And it's true that I love
It's love not given lightly
But I knew this was love
And it's you that I love
And it's more that what it might be
[Verse 4]
When we're alone I cannot always face you
Maybe my mood won't let these arms embrace you
That doesn't mean my love's somehow diminished
Give me the time to show our love's unfinished
[Verse 5]
'Cause it's you that I love
And it's true that I love
And it's love not given lightly
But I knew this was love
And it's you that I love
And it's more that what it might be
[Verse 6]
I need your body, your mind, and your emotions
Shed me your tears till I drown in your oceans
[Verse 7]
'Cause it's you that I love
And it's true that I love
It's love not given lightly
But I knew this was love
And it's you that I love
And it's more that what it might be
[Verse 8]
And every word I sing is true
What can I say, the words destroy all meaning
There's only cliche to get across this feeling
[Verse 9]
That it's you that I love
And it's true that I love
And it's love not given lightly
But I knew this was love
And it's you that I love
And it's more that what it might be
[Verse 10]
And every word I sing's for you
[Verse 11]
'Cause it's you that I love
And it's true that I love
And it's love not given lightly
But I knew this was love
And it's you that I love
And it's more that what it might be
[Verse 12]
This is a love song to John and Leisha's mother
This isn't easy, I might not write another
[Verse 13]
But it's you that I love
And it's true that I love
And it's more that what it might be
But I knew this was love
And it's you that I love
And it's love not given lightly
[Verse 14]
'Cause it's you that I love
And it's true that I love
And it's love not given lightly
But I knew this was love
And it's you that I love
And it's more that what it might be
[Verse 15]
And it's you that I love
And it's true that I love
And it's love not given lightly
But I knew this was love
And it's you that I love
And it's more that what it might be
[Verse 16]
Yes it's you
And it's true that I love
And it's love not given lightly
Well I knew this was love
And it's you that I love
And it's more that what it might be
And it's you that I love
And it's true that I love
And it's love not given lightly
But I knew this was love
And it's you that I love
And it's more that what it might be
Cause it's you that I love
And it's true that I love
And it's love not given lightly
But I knew this was love
And it's true that I love
And it's more that what it might be
And it's you that I love
