Precious

I thought I knew how to love
And then I met you.
Nothing before that day was true.
You melted my heart.
I gave it all to you.

There was nothing I could do
But fall down on my knees
And give it all to you.

I thought I was complete
Then I saw your face.
Nothing will ever take it’s place.
You shattered my cold heart
And took it all for you.

There was nothing I could do
But fall down on my knees
And give it all to you.

You have me wrapped around your finger
And I think you knot it, too.
Just a smile or a hug
Is all you have to give
To make me want to live
And I think you know it’s true.

I hope you love your life.
I hope you live it right.
Nothing could make me love you less.
You will always be my best.
So I give my heart to you.

There is nothing I can do
But fall down on my knees
And give my heart to you.
