Who Will...?

Who will show me love? The kind that doesn't give up. The kind that lasts when things get
rough. The kind that's felt with every touch.

Who will show me what love is for; pick my dreams up from the floor; give me wings and
watch me soar; love me for less but still love me more.

Who will catch me when I fall; build me up so I feel tall; help me break down my own
walls; give their best and their all.

Who will love me at my worst; make it clear that I'm their first; move in forward and not
reverse; show me how much my love is worth.

Who will wake up next to me; share a night filled with ecstasy; never have regrets to me;
know exactly what it is that gets to me.

Who will show me a life filled with laughter; bring me the love that I've sought after;
sing my praises to the rafters; start with me a whole new chapter.

Who will hold me when I'm sad; show me good when I see bad; calm me down when I get mad;
be the rock I never had.

Who will chase away all my fears; use their shoulders to catch my tears; want me close and
need me near; replace my sorrow with their cheer.

Who will be there when things go wrong; be left standing when the rest have gone; sing to
me a soothing song; build with me a lasting bond.

Who will want me when I'm kicked aside; say sweet words to boost my pride; never run and
never hide; through whatever will stay by my side.

Who will give me hope and watch it grow; be the love I've never known; pull my heart out
from the stone.  So who will love me when she won't?
