And I Knew Right Then
Patience is why I'm still here,
And of course you my dear.
You watch over me and help steer,
Me away from what was so near.
You did it without any words spoken,
I just had to look into your eyes,
And I knew how much you cared,
All done when I was so damn broken.
I just got you to smile,
And I knew right then I can make you happy,
A grin so big you looked like you could run 800 miles,
And be here beside me making the wait worthwhile.
I just got to hear I love you,
And I knew right then I had your heart,
Never thought you would steal mine, but its true,
Each minute passes & hoping a call comes on cue.
I just got to see you cry,
And I knew right then how important I was to my baby,
When I told you I was considering the military, there was no reply,
Not a word was said until a tear came from your eye.
I just got to see all the things said about me,
And I knew right then I was on your mind,
Well so were you and I can guarantee,
So were pictures of your beautiful face that I see.
I just got a call from you at 3 in the morning,
And I knew right then you didn't care about waking me,
I don't either cause I wanna hear your voice without warning,
So worth it to hear I love you in the midmorning.
I just had to get your cheeks to hurt from smiling,
And I knew right then we were perfect for each other.
From there our love for each other began stock piling,
And it continues, so high now, I'll now never love another.
I just got a shot,
With the most beautiful girl in the world,
And I knew right then how lucky I really am and I cannot,
Lose her and I'm gonna do everything I can to keep it that way.
