To the Love of My Life

My pulse quickens I can't see I can't breathe My eyesight is blurry The only thing that's clear is the sound of my own heartbeat You've captured me Taken my breath away Yes, you've captured me You captured me at first glance Made me shiver at the first touch Opened my mind to new possibilities God knows I love you so much You speak and my body twitches, my soul sings A simple "I love you" makes my heart flutter like butterfly wings I am your prisoner You owe me nothing, I owe you everything The man who made me love again is now my sweet African King Kisses as soft as rose petals, seem like their heaven sent I asked God for an angel and he knew exactly what I meant Kiss me again sweetheart, kiss me until you reach my soul And when this task is done Watch my love unfold Promise me you won't leave, promise me you won't go If I ever insist on leaving Look me in the eyes and tell me no For if I am ever without you Its sure to be my downfall And if I can't have the one I love Then I would rather not love at all -Lyric-
