You Steal My Soul

Frowns on my clock faces
As time races
The hour’s close to being half-way 
Done soon to pass half-way 
Till I get to hold the one 

Her scent on a wind gust
From 3000 miles away must
Mean nature speaks to me
“Lyndell, she was made for thee”
And you for Jaimee
This love was meant to be

A real love song
Sung true to the one I belong
Baby remember that night
To you I confessed my sins
And somewhere within
My mind I needed you
To not let go of my hand
But knew you should

Yet you never did
Lies I’ve hid behind
Reasons to push lovers away
Now I look forward to the day
We both fight back tears
And pledge to spend the rest of our years

That day erases
No more clock faces 
Time will stand still
Like in every moment you steal
My soul
