Because I Love All of You


 

Because I love the sparkle in your eye

When wonder fills your heart and makes you smile

I let you talk and laugh and even cry

and revel in your passion all the while

Because I love to know that you trust me

I stay behind and kiss you on the cheek

Your freedom is important, that I see

I wish you luck in finding what you seek

Because I love to hold you when you're warm

I'll keep you near when winter closes in

Your sorrow is a wretched, raging storm

But I am here to block you from it's wind

 

Because I love you when you want me gone 

I listen, and I vanish with the dawn
