Before You
Before you I was walking
without purpose or direction,
Before you I was lost
without much human connection.
Before you I didn't know
there was light amidst the dark,
Before you I only thought
that that life would be stark.
Before you I never dreamed
of angels or endless pleasure,
Before you I never thought
I could love without measure.

When I found you I found myself,
I learned someone could care,
When I found you I found a place,
both darkness and light can live there.

Now I have you and I live in that place
where love is what rules the land,
Now I have you to make real my dreams
whenever you can take my hand.
Now I have you and I want you to know
I hope that you never leave.
Because now that I have you I see
just what love can achieve.
