My Heart's Special Place
My Heart's Special Place
The first time ever I saw your face,
My heart woke within me a place -
I never realized was even there.
For hours and days we spent together
Soon knowing this - our love was forever.
Yes, our love was beyond compare.
We joined our lives, and our love grew
Yet even greater than I ever knew.
What other love fills so completely?
Two became one and then there were three
Bringing bottles and bikes and a new Christmas tree.
My heart was now fuller - but how could it be?
Soon our lives and days were all filled
With schools and proms - new jobs and bills.
We often felt stressed, and even frazzled.
With cares of this world, love nearly dies.
But when I look into your eyes,
It doesn't take long for me to be dazzled.
Once days were hot and nights filled with passion
Then years became full and days were a-passin'
Still love was there though oft in disguise
The years toiled on and our love deepened.
Though tested and tried, our love was worth keepin'
We came through it all, made stronger and wise.
Maybe passion is gone and love is an ember
You make me glow. Oh, I remember -
The first time ever I saw your face.
From youthful passion to old people's care
Our steadfast love, will always be there,
For, ever awaken is my heart's special place.
