Between Love's Pages Collaboration With Joanna Daniel

I bow to you with a rose in my hand
and hope you press it between love's pages
I will not assume nor will I demand
I'll promise to love you through the ages

hear my heartbeat when it speaks to you, love
it will give you all of your heart's desire
with love no more than what we can dream of
through all the days and nights that we acquire

Look into my eyes and you'll see passion
the kind that stays faithful and burns always
our love will never go out of fashion
for it's built on trust and respect's slow blaze

accept this rose and pin it on your dress
let its sweet fragrance tantalize your dreams
holding hands together, let us progress
to a future filled with love's bright sunbeams
