I wake with the dawn, something is wrong, then I hear you

breathing softly by my side,

and I know that I was dreaming of a time that may come when

you would be no longer in my life.



I slip out of bed, I go downstairs,

still troubled by the power of the dream,

and I know that I don't say it quite as much as I should the

way I feel and what you mean to me.



You are my lover, you are my friend, you are my life to the

very end.

You bring me comfort, you keep me warm, you give me hope,

you make me strong, you take me away to a distant shore

and it's with you that I want to stay forevermore.



You go out at night, you're looking so good, people turning

as you walk into the room,

when I stand beside you I can feel the pride in my heart to

know that you are here with me tonight.



You are my lover, you are my friend, you are my life to the

very end.

You bring me comfort, you keep me warm, you give me hope,

you make me strong, you take me away to a distant shore

and it's with you that I'm going to stay forevermore.

Yes, it's with you that I'm going to stay forevermore.

Yes, it's with you that I'm going to stay forevermore.



You are my lover,

you are my friend,

forever more,

forever more.
