You're the air I breathe
You're the morning dew
You're the gentle rain
tapping on my window pane
And you pretend that
.
It's just not true
But I can see it in the things you do
.
And when the chips are down
and I've played my hand
and there's not another living
soul around
.
It's you - it's true -
Every time - I can count on you
.
You're my safety chute
You're my dream come true
You're that winning hand
that always sees me through
.
You're the twists and turns
in this life of mine that makes
me wanna stay until the very end
.
You see - it's true -
you know me better
than I know myself
.
And when all is said and done
You're the one who makes me sing
You're the mystery that I gotta read
You're the poetry that keeps me
coming back for just a little more
.
And in this crazy world
full of pain and hurt
You're the only thing
that turns it all around
.
You make the darkness fade
You make it melt away
And I can't believe you stayed
when everyone else
.
turned and ran away
.
You see - it's you -
In every breath I take
In every step I make
In every dream I weave
.
You're the words I write
that make my heart
wanna leap for joy
.
every time I see you in my sight
.
You're the warm wet kiss
still upon my lips
.
And you pretend that it's just not true
But I can see it in the things you do
.
The Things You Do
