Every Single Word
Every single day of you
Lifts my heart and makes me whole.
Every single word of you
Takes a longing from my soul.

Every single thought of you
Clears my doubt and makes me sing.
Every single sight of you
Confirms to me you're everything.

Every single smell of you
Brings gladness you are near.
Every single taste of you
Says ecstasy is here.

And now my love, you rest your head
Against my chest and sigh
Your song to me, says I must be
Your life's long lullaby.
