You Fill My Days

You fill my days with happiness With joy I never knew There is no greater love my dear Than the love I feel for you You fill my days with kindness You set my poor heart free I can't begin to tell you How much you mean to me You fill my days with friendship The kind that lasts and lasts The purest kind of friendship What more could one man ask You fill my days with total joy Like when I was just a child The first time I could ride a bicycle The clown that made me smile You fill my days with quiet peace That blows my cares away With simple words of tenderness You brighten up my day But most of all sweet lady You fill my days with spice I'm never bored when you are near My love it's been a slice © Jack Ellison 2014
