That's What Love Is -Song For My Wife-

I could give you the moon
     And the sun
          And the stars up above
               If you let me.
I could fill up your world
     With the dreams
          That you dreamed about love
               We'd be happy.

We'll ride on the clouds, feel the wind, if we give it a chance.
Move to life's melody as we learn how to dance.
Greet the world with a smile as we walk hand in hand.
Find the sweet pearls of life hidden deep in the sand.
     That's what love is.
          Oh my darling.
               That's what love is.

I could sing you a song
     We could sing
          Through the sunshine and rain
               If you'll be mine.
I could bring you the love
     And the joy
          That few people attain
               In a life time.

We'll ride on the clouds, feel the wind, if we give it a chance.
Move to life's melody as we learn how to dance.
Greet the world with a smile as we walk hand in hand.
Find the sweet pearls of life hidden deep in the sand.
     That's what love is.
          Oh my darling.
               That's what love is.

I could give you support
     With your dreams
          I would be there for you
               When you need me.
Be the one that you trust
     With your life
          That's what true love can do
               It's so easy.

We'll ride on the clouds, feel the wind, if we give it a chance.
Move to life's melody as we learn how to dance.
Greet the world with a smile as we walk hand in hand.
Find the sweet pearls of life hidden deep in the sand.
     That's what love is.
          Oh my darling.
               That's what love is.


This song was written for my sweet and beautiful wife, Stevi. During the 5 
weeks from the time we met till the time we were married I had written and 
sung this song to her. We have now been happily married almost 18 years.

oops, checking out your poems and I realize that last one was also an old one, not really a new one! But I'm glad I finally saw it. I am in a rush to see a lot of comments so I can't see your actual NEWEST Poem. I noticed the part one of it was very long. I hope to return to read it when I have more time!!

Thanks, Linda, I do so appreciate your comments. I love it when I can sit down and the words seem to splash upon the page without any thought. Just let it flow and then read through to see what love has done. That is how this one was written. Thanks for reading it, my friend.... Robert.

Women love to be serenaded, and my wife is no different, she loves this song. I haven't written many like this, Tim, and this one was the most heartfelt of them all. Thanks so much for your comments, my friend.... Robert.

It was a gift for both of us, Andrea, believe me. Of all the things I have written, this is the most cherished. This serves as a blueprint for our union and I do not take it lightly. God wanted us together for a reason and I will not disappoint God or Stevi. Thank you so much my friend.... Robert.

Anne Lise, You are very kind. That is such a wonderful comment. You are right about real love. I could tell that this one was different and it was something that I never wanted to be without. All of that was felt the moment our eyes met. It was quite amazing. Stevi loves this song. Thank you my wonderful friend..... Robert.
