Being With You Keeps Me Alive

Being with you keeps me alive, 
You are my heart, you are my soul; 
A single time that we're apart
Means massive melt of my life's goal.

Thinking of you keeps me awake
In the middle of the dark night; 
My mind ponders every moment, 
As I'm laying neath the moonlight.

Dreaming of you keeps me asleep, 
Still savoring the sweet slumber; 
I don't want to wake up from bed, 
Because it's not a worst nightmare.

Seeing your face keeps me aglow, 
As I look at your sparkling eyes; 
The stars are there to guide me through, 
While we're up close under the skies.

Having you near my time and place, 
Many hardships, I will survive; 
Beneath the sea, you're oxygen, 
Being with you keeps me alive.
