I've spent so much time thinking dreams are a waste,
That there's no knights in armour, or dresses of lace;
That happily ever after is ruined in the sequel,
And that she was better off alone, how she was in the prequel.

Now I'd wait for hours, I'd wait for days
Just for a minute or sixty to gaze
Into the eyes of the one I love true,
Blue are they, and beautiful, too.

Turns out, my dream's real; there may not be lace,
But there's a man with a heart of gold and a face
Of courage and love, with those eyes, I recall,
And a smile that once again makes me fall.

It scares me too much to think that he could
Leave me alone, and leave me for good.
It may be so stupid; he may think I'm dumb,  
But I, well and truly, think he's the one.

I'll say something unintelligent,
And he'll laugh and say what I really meant.
And I'll say "I love you", and he just doesn't know
How much that I really love him so.

But it's good -- don't you think? -- at the end of the day,
That, no matter how much effort, I cannot say
What we have together in a phrase or two,
That it doesn't seem to cover it with "I love you."

Yeah, go on, call me silly
That I'm not just willy-nilly;  
Say I care much too much,
Then make me laugh and blush and such.

'Round me, I want his arms to lock.
You think I'm talking poppycock,
But that's where I would like to be,
From here until eternity.

I'd like to sleep soundly once more,
In his bed, in his arms, like that for
the rest of my life, forever each night.
I know it sounds stupid, but it just feels right.

I hate how much pain he could give,  
And that it feels as if, for him, I live,
But I trust, for me, he won't intentionally miss,
And he'll love away any hurt with his kiss.  

He can read my mind, say the words on my tongue;
He's one of very few that will tell me when I'm wrong.
He holds me and helps me and shows me and knows
That everyday, my love for him surely does grow.

If my heads in the clouds right now,
All I can think and say is, "Wow."
I don't wanna come down, unless he'll hold
My hand in his, through the warm and the cold.

My faults make me feel I'm not enough,
That I'm mediocre to his hot stuff.  
I don't wanna ask too much, or drive him away,
Don't wanna disappoint him with too much to say.

I'm scared out of my mind it could change,
And just one day, it won't be the same.
I'm afraid one day he'll just stop loving me,
I know it sounds stupid, but it's a fear, you see.

"Irrational and frightened; naive and graceless, too,
And I still go recklessly running towards you."
Maybe I'm a worrywart with an old-fashioned heart;
If I try to explain it, well, where do I start?

"I need you the way that morning needs light,
I need you the way the dark needs the night,
I need you the way that lungs need air.
I need you, I love you, and damnit, I care."

I may be so damn stupid, but I've let him move right in
To the world that's not just mine, but ours; How beautiful it's been
Since he placed his hand in mine, and gave his kiss to me;
I think I need to get over myself just to finally see:

"You're not gonna hurt me, 'cause you care, too.
I'm not being foolish with letting you
Get closer than ever, getting inside my life,
'cause with you, I'm just gleeful, no fear nor strife.

And you melt it all away --  my fear, I mean,
And my heart is warm; it shines, it's clean
Of all that stopped it from loving before
Since the moment I ran to you through the first open door. "
