How do I tell you
Not that you’re my world
But that you’re as much of my world as I want to know, right now
How do I tell you
Not that I’ll pluck the stars from the heavens and give them to you
But that I’d love to share a champagne pic nic under a blue-black velvet sky with you
How do I tell you
Not that you make everyday brighter
But that you brighten everyday I’m with you
How do I tell you
That I took a peek
Through the window of dreams
And saw you sitting at the sewing machine
Weaving quilts of happiness
And tapestries of love
With stitches of time
Drifting down from above
Designed moments of future
To show me the way
Along the path of tomorrow
Looking back on yesterday
As we ride gentle waves
Of happiness and cheer
I smile with the knowledge
You will always be near
So, when the future arrives
And the present gives way
I’ll introduce you to today
Saying goodbye to yesterday
How do I tell you
Not that I’ll die if you ever leave me
But that I want to spend all my waking days with you
How do I tell you
I love you.
