All that I am

Lyrics by S.C.Jones

How can I explain
All that I feel
All that I am
and how will I maintain

When all about me
I see just you
Here by my side
it’s still you that I see

And how can I exist
Without you now
Forever here
and how can I resist

Everything you are
Here in me now
All that I need
day, night, my evening star

And all that I am
I am for you
Here with me now
Here with me still
always this will

And when you know of me
Know that I cared
Know that I loved
All my days through
thoughts then of you

Know too I’m still here
Always right here
Thinking of you
and know your always near

Know I’ll always love you
Always love you
Always my dear
always know this be true

There in my heart be
All this of me
All that I am
everything now here you see

And why does this love feel
So much of me
In here for you
Ever I know
with you I go

All I ask of you
Understand why
Understand me
All these my ways
all of my days

If your love contains
All that I feel
All that I am
your heart in me remains

In me you reside
In me you see
In me you’ll know
It’s now here within you

In me

All that I am
