A Year Round Hearts Day

So many things I could praise about you
with hearts day near
all those things oh so special
everyday of my blessed year

Blessed just because of your kindness
I am humbled that you care
a gentle warmth washes over me
not sure you are even aware

When we are on the dance floor
you the swan me more like a dazed stork
wish my excuse was too much of the bubbly
drinking what passed through that cork

No the steps are not my forte
which is why I stay with the band
and yet you are so reassuring
and also offer your hand

Then those times when I think
my world has split wide apart
just your presence lightens my load
allows next day a brand new start

"Whatever pains inside, you make it better
You seem to realize, when I'm concerned
You are the only one who goes through the changes
Giving my life directions, when I am turned"

So please don't worry none
if the mascara isn't perfectly applied
or there is a snag in the hosiery
for external mishaps can't trim devotion's tide

"Is your figure less than greek
Is your mouth a little weak
When you open it to speak
Are you smart?"

Life is full of things that must change
you might do so but please not for me
for even if you have imperfections
away from your embrace I never want to be

"I said I love you and that's forever
And this I promise from the heart
I could not love you any better
I love you just the way you are."
