Where I Wanna Be

Where I wanna be, is this place
I’ll stay until dawn breathes its light
And night slips away
To behold your eyes

Your countenance shines 
Brighter than glorious rays
And at the breath of its light  
Even the thickest night, obeys

I’ll lock up myself in your embrace 
And throw the keys faraway
For I want to behold your face
Till my hairs turn grey 

To be more like you
Is my only plea
And in your presence is, 
Where I wanna be
