when i met you

There I was, an empty piece of a shell
Just mindin' my own world
Without even knowin'
What love and life were all about
Then you came
And brought me out of my shell
You gave the world to me
And before I knew
There I was so in love with you

You gave me a reason for my being
And I love what I'm feelin'
You gave me a meaning to my life
Yes, I've gone beyond existing
And it all began
When I met you

I love the touch of your hair
And when I look in your eyes
I just know, I know, I'm on to something good
And I'm sure, my love for you will endure
Your love light up my world and take all my cares
Away where they can't bother me

You taught me how to love
You showed me how tomorrow and today
My love, is different from the yesterday
I knew, you taught me to love
And darlin' I will always cherish you
Today, tomorrow and forever...

And I'm sure, when the evening will come around
I know we'll be making love
Like never before
My love, who could asked for more

An anthropologist once asked a Hopi why so many of his people's songs were about rain. The Hopi replied, "Because water is so scarce. Is that why so many of your songs are about love?" ~ Gila: Life and Death of an American River
