Your face is my light

Doug turner 1981 (Punxsutawney)



Your love for me is all I have to trust
I'll be here forever just to hold you
So when the rest of the world turns to dust
There's just one last thing that I have to do

Standing here with my heart In my hand
Doesn't matter to me whatever being runs this show
For your smile I'll make an endless stand
And there's only one thing you must always know

I'd travel to the depths of hell
Just to see that shimmer in your eye
I'd out live even the deadliest spell
Just to place my hand upon you thigh

Nothing is real being far away from you
It's my own personal hell being so lost too
I need you closer than ever before
I'd give up the world for you of that I'm sure
