 I remember every minute
I’ve ever 
spent with you
And I must 
say, I enjoyed them all
Did you enjoy 
them too
 
I remember 
conversations
Lasting long 
into the night
And I must 
say, I enjoyed them all
Have never 
seen us fight
 
What if we 
took the risk that
Scares both of 
us to death
If we spent 
some time together
Put this to 
the test
 
You could have 
your own life
I need to have 
mine too
But if we were 
together
It might be 
easier to do
 
I’ve loved you 
for a long time
It’s very 
strong and deep
Love strong 
enough to let you have
What it is you 
think you need
 
You are the 
reason I’m alone
The rest don’t 
measure up
If one day you 
reach for my hand
You will 
overflow my cup
 
But I am 
strong and patient
Content to be 
alone
I hope I’ve 
sown the seeds of love 
And you'll see 
how they've grown
