Love Letters #1
Jason Marriner 1980 (Pensacola)
You were standing in the doorway when I came home last night Wearing nothing more than the smile on your face You had a look in your eyes that I hadn't seen since our last big fight That night, we wound up making love all over the place The passion is definitely burning within your eyes I'm ready to feed that inferno, give you what you long for But for now I just tease to enjoy your soft replies When the time is right, you'll get all of me and more I look you up and look you down, and just smile How could I ever deserve to have a woman like you How could I love someone so much that just the thought of her can drive me wild This love is a real love, and it's all for you No second thoughts, no doubts, just you in my heart That's all I need, your love and there's nothing I can't do I could take on the world, but I wouldn't know where to start A few short words are spoken between us And you're in my arms once again, unable to resist my southern charm You need to be loved, and you've given me your heart and trust To keep it safe, always cherish you, and never let you come to harm Just like an old love song, one we've heard a thousand times before I will always be the man you want me to be And you will always be the one that I love and adore There will never be words to describe how you have set my heart free You asked me once if I've always listened to love songs Have I just been waiting for my love to arrive Yes, to both, and I'm so proud to say that it's with you my heart belongs The first time we said I love you, I knew I had never felt more alive You are the one for which my heart continues to beat The breath that enters my lungs, is only worth breathing when I say your name
