I Do
(Anderson)

Deep calls to deep in the distance I feel
An orphaned and wandering love
Still I believe what I don't see is real
You are real
Patience grows weak as the moment we seek
Keeps us waiting a week at a time
Still, we agree on how close we will be:
We are one

Remember the night on a Florida road?
You drove, and I asked the question.
How my heart slowed in the silence,
As you paused in your answer, but finally said, "Yeah."
Yeah
And I said I love you,
And I do

These months that we share may not go as we planned
But our love has a will to survive
A voice on the phone, like the touch of a hand,
Keeps a happy decision alive

Remember the night that we stayed home to dine?
I cooked and you put on music
We both had wine and sat smiling
'Cause we knew we were happy, so happy we cried
And I said I love you,
And I do

Please let me through to the heart of you
Let me love every part of you
Let me make a new start of my life with you
I want to be known, and to know you, completely
I'm wanting to hold you
I want to be held as your own, yours alone
But I know I'm not perfect

And I said I love you
And I do
Let me through
