Breath of Love

When I first saw you, I had to look
I stood there still, and finally spoke
Come talk with me, my heart shook
It seems my heart just now awoke
Your voice was thrilling, your beauty fair
We talked and talked and talked some more
Each word was precious, love filled the air
Moments filled, yes, what love is for
The breath of love had captured me
I didn’t want this time to end
The glory of this time I see
To you dear one my love I send
You swept me off my feet so grand
Love’s pure light now shining true
Reached out so I could hold your hand
I'm so blessed now, sweet time with you
