\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Music From The Heart<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

I play my guitar while you are sleeping.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

I look down and see you smile.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

I know in my heart, you are worth keeping.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

I am happy you\u2019re around for awhile.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

I create a song to reflect my feelings.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

It reaches deep within my soul.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

I never want to hear that you are leaving.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

To be yours forever, is my goal.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

My guitar and I have seen a lot.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

It is with me all the time.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

I express my feelings on the spot.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

By these rhythms & chords of mine.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

You have brought the best out in me.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

My heart is singing to you. Can\u2019t you see?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Later, when I finally come to bed.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

You roll over toward me.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

You warm my shoulder with your head.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

This is where I want you to be.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Close enough to feel you near.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

To know that you are alive & vibrant.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

The warmth of your body, showing no fear.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Your eyes open and you see my grin.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

You ask what is wrong?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

I say things couldn\u2019t be better.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

I tell her I love her in a song.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

She smiles as her eyes get wetter.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

My guitar and I have seen a lot.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

You have brought the best out in me.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

My heart is singing to you. Can\u2019t you see?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Her house is down on Cherry Drive.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

And there\u2019s a tree in her backyard.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

A limb rubs against the outside.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

When the wind is blowing hard.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

We are safe and warm within.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Snuggled in our little love nest.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

I have a feeling, it\u2019s about to begin.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Because I know that she\u2019s the best.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
