Forever, I Will Always Love You David Daniels
There were times when I tried to tear down your walls
But you built them back up, brick by brick
You've loved me in health and happiness
You've cared for me when I was sick
You've always been there for me
And you tell me you'll be there till the end
You're more than the mother of my children
You're my heart and my best friend
I love to hold you tightly in my arms
When I'm with you, I feel love
I love to caress your soft silky hair
Sometimes I think you were sent from Heaven above
When I look into your eyes, I see love and joy
When I walk with you,I feel happiness and free
Sometimes I pray to the good Lord above
And I thank him for giving you to me
I am thankful for the day we got married
We've traveled many long and winding roads
We've had our good days and bad days
But that's part of life, so I am told
Before I met you there was something missing
There was an empty feeling in my heart
It's the same kind of feeling I get
Whenever we're separated or apart
My life is meaningless without you
I need you to always be by my side
I want to shout out to the whole world
That you give me a warm feeling way down deep inside
Sometimes we get angry at each other
And the words just don't come out right
But we always end up feeling sorry
And holding each other tight
My love for you is a road that goes on forever
My love for you is as sweet as a rose
And I will always happily remember
The day I got down on my knee and proposed
Now with you by my side,I can conquer the world
I feel that together,there is nothing we can't do
And always remember my blue eyed angel
That forever, I will always love you
