You Lift Me Up

you lift me up when I am down
change my world in every way
hold my hand and touch my face
give me hope on this beautiful day

you give me strength to carry on
showing your love to me alone
you are the truth, you are the voice
you make me feel that I'm the one

I close my eyes and see your love
know how you look and what you say
I touch your lips and kiss your face
how do you make me feel this way

Chorus
love me while the sun shines high
or maybe beneath the moon
love me while you hold me tight
make love on a warm afternoon

you take me high to a better place
and let me believe it will be okay
you open me up to love once more
dreams come true for me this day

Betty Bateson/ June 20/14
