When you hold me like this

so many memories fill my eyes

the first time we kissed

the times we nearly said good-bye

but still here we are

tested and tried and still true

and stronger than we ever knew



love is all

the laughter and the tears that fall

the mundane and the magical

love is all

all is love

the careless word, the healing touch

the getting and the getting of

all is love

there's a me you've always known

the me that's a stranger still

the you that feels like home

and the you that never will

but still here we lie

tender and trusting and true

with everything that we've been through



all the glory

all the pain

all the passion

that turns into ashes

only to rise again
