Everything

You give me light when darkness falls You give me hope when all is lost You give me strength when I am weak You give me everything You give me days when I give in You give me you, a special friend You give me love when needed most You give me everything My best of friends, my one true love My special gift from God above You are the days that lie ahead You are… my everything You give your hand when mine is bare You give your heart to show you care You give your time so eagerly You give me everything You give your dreams to share with me You give your touch so sensually You give your breath so I may live You give me everything My best of friends, my one true love My special gift from God above You are the days that lie ahead You are… my everything
