In the lingering moments
Just before we say goodbye
Your tender promises
Helps me last through the night
I still feel your arms around me
Holding me close
Your gentle voice in my ear
As you whisper my name

I'll never forget when we met under the stars
And promised ourselves to each other
I'll never forget the way you took my heart
And promised to love me forever
I never thought that one day
You'd be standing here by my side

Merely a fond attraction I said
But you knew it was more
I didn't want to believe
That anything so good could be true
But you took up the sword
And fought down all the walls
My knight in shining armor
Come to claim my soul

I love the strength in the way you
Touched me deep within
I love the heart and soul you
Slipped onto my finger
In a time when loneliness was all
You picked up the pieces and made them fit
There's only one thing I can give back
The words you so wanted to hear --
I love you.
