Your tenderness, like sunshine
In the middle of the winter
Brighter than anything I�d seen
And you were repeating
�This just doesn�t happen to me�
As though it were a dream
Your smile, like fresh air
The first that flows with spring
Beyond anything I�ve known
And all I had to do
Such a small sacrifice
My heart, for a little bit of hope
Your curiosity, like wonder
Burning for more knowledge
I watched you as you listened
Until you could comprehend
The meaning of my words
As though they should have no end
Your patience, like an anchor
Security, finally and at last
Perhaps I spoke to soon
What greatness could thrive
While you�re just driving by
And I�m heading for the moon
Your life, like a gift
I never could deserve
More than I had hoped for
More than the world
Wrapped in your arms
The two of us adored
