reason to live

Verse 1.  

each time your  
smiling eyes bring  
sunshine to my life,  
gosh, i get the notion  
just to fall in love with you  
in the middle of the ocean,  
o babe!  
it's a beautiful commotion,  
my friend.  
   
Verse 2.  

when i am  
fortunate to  
touch your velvet skin,  
it's a cloud i float on  
way up in the myriad skies,  
in the middle of creation,  
o babe!  
it's a wonderful sensation,  
my friend.  
   
Refrain  

i call your name,  
it hurts the same;  
when i am left on my own,  
broken and torn,  
where is the love that i seek?  
you call my name,  
there is no blame,  
for i am deeply in love,  
deep in my heart,  
tired and broken and weak.
 
   
Coda  

please: say you are mine;  
'cause i'm waiting for something from you.  
give me reason to live,    
my love!

Author's Note
I origiinally wrote this as a song in 2003.  Thought the lyrics would be interesting as poetic text to which I could later add the soundtrack of the arrangement in a karoake presentation. Still a work in progress, for the latter input.
