Because of You and Me

You brighten the clouds
 and sweeten the rain
My shelter in any storm
 you wrap around me
To give me warmth
 when I shiver
To give me air
 so I can breathe
Because of you
 I can be 

You make me want to dance
 when there’s no music
To dress up
 when there’s nowhere to go
To smile
 while daydreaming
To sigh
 as I fall asleep
Because of you
 I can be me

My heart sings in tune
 more than my voice ever could
Because of you and me
