Early morning walks

I took a walk this morning, in the waking light
A chance to clear my head you know, to try to make it right
What happens to me deep inside, it’s something beyond sight
I feel all wrong, I toss and turn, no I can’t sleep at night

So long ago we were best friends, everything was sweet
We talked, we laughed, we shared our all, it was pretty neat
The months passed by, we grew so close, then we chose to meet
We met, we kissed and you were mine, you made my life complete

Holding hands, just being close, you were always by my side
A treasure dear, held so near, a love that could not hide
We walked along the city streets, matching stride for stride
And when I said “I love you” you should know I never lied

Shy and sweet you’d smile for me, and brighten every day
Whatever woes that troubled me, you would chase each one away
You know everything you did for me, I wish I could repay
If only I could be the one with whom you wished to stay

Now every day that passes by reminds me of you more
Of each and every joyful moment we have shared before
And every day, it takes us forward, I wonder what’s in store
For an angel just beyond my reach, the lady I adore.
