All those years I traveled down that dusty road I longed to share it with a friend
But in my youth I loved to hustle like some treasure might be waiting at the end
In time, I grew a little wiser, and I learned to cherish gifts along the way
Each and every one I came across reminded me that nothing good can stay.

Except for you, my love, my dear
My heart's so glad you are here

I never knew just how alone I was until the day my eyes encountered you
There’s magic in your movement and a light that seems to shine from all you do
I was speechless, I was smitten, and I knew somehow I had to make you mine
I might falter, I might fail, but there’s no way that I could give up without tryin’.

You took my hand and drew it near
And with your touch, our love appeared

I see colors now I couldn’t once, hear songbirds that I never heard before
Every day is filled with wonder, every evening filled with just a little more
Not content, I am not happy, I’m immersed in love, and overjoyed
May I spend all my remaining days with you, or till the world is null and void.

Oh babe, we’re on our way
I love you more with every day
Yeah, I love you more every day
