This Much I Know
Without You
This Much I know:
The sun wouldn’t shine so brightly
Birds wouldn’t sing so sweetly
The air wouldn’t smell so delightfully
My life wouldn’t be filled so completely
…Without you…
And how do I know?:
Without you the sun seems but a shadow
The birdsongs seem slightly off-key
The air seems not to stir in the meadow
And my heart feels hollow to me
…And how do you feel about me?...
That I don’t really know
In any self assured way
You don’t deign to show me
E’en the time of the day
…I’m sure I could be…
The light of your life
Should you allow me the pleasure
To make you my wife
To love, honor and forever treasure
I don’t just think that
…I KNOW!...
