More Than I Hoped You'D Be

More than I hoped you'd be

You are...more than I hoped you'd be
You're the sweet nectar to this honey bee
I...I have been drawn ...to you
One....is now... the sum of two

I've found a treasure known to none
No need to keep digging this tunnel of love
You...you have given sight to blind eyes
Now all I can see...is you, you mesmerize

As we dance under pale moons glow
hearts twisting and turning entwined
Star light flickers as loves shadow grows
Together we bind the hands of time

Eagles fly to places unknown to us
They have the freedom to ride the breeze
Let me take you to a land of trust
Exploring each other and true love seize
