Swept Away One Night

 

You showed me a new world

One where I felt I belonged

No one judging me, assuming the worst

About the life I lead that they knew nothing about.

You taught me lessons I should have

already known

I needed a reminder that I was worthy

of the love you so freely gave to me

Your wisdom belies your youth

Lessons you learned under duress

I never experienced the things you had

seen at such a young age.

Thank you for caring, thank you for loving me.

Thank you for the man you are

You don't have to hide behind your tough looks

Because I've seen the gentle soul inside.

This is the man with whom

I fell completely, utterly, unalterably in love.

Look in the mirror, cher ami

It is you...
