NEW LOVE

                              My very dearest
                                  I hear music when I look at  you
                         stars turn brighter when I am with you
                            the air feels better, the flowers smell  fresher
                                    the whole world feels aglow,
                                   when I think about all the ways
                                    our happiness might grow.

                                I feel like holding your hand in mine
                                 while walking down romance lane
                                    I see starlight in your eyes
                                   your cheeks are getting bright
                                       your lips, your smile
                                         your happy face
                                      our two hearts beating
                                        in treasured time
                                      while we acknowledge
                                       that which we know
                                       through the unspoken
language of our hands.

                                     So why don't we make
                                       a commitment now
                                  one that only we will understand
                                      a pledge to each other
                                         under the stars
                                    that you and I will never part
                                    for we love, understand and
                                        care for each other
                                         much too much
                                        to ever drift apart.
