In the morning when I wake up And remember where I've landed I can close my eyes and visualise Exactly what I'll see Sheets bundled round you The creases criss-cross your face Like a map of your dreams Just for a moment or two And in the morning As I fumble for the radio alarm clock To form a barricade to stop the world From flooding in our room We reach out our feet Legs all in a tangle The bedclothes all mangled and strewn Just for a moment or two Let me love you always Hold your hand on the warm days Light a fire on winter evenings When it's cool You're my lynch pin My soulmate What began on that first date It took me years to realise It was the story of our lives And in the evening When I'm up the stairs bathing our children
Their tiny night-clothes lie in piles Of pink and purple on the stairs A hello from you Well it's enough to make them scream and shout And find they're caught unawares Just for a moment or two Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin And in the night-time When I'm lying right beside you and you're breathing Well it reminds me of the boy you were And what you have become No more "if only", no more "if I could" But only "look what I've done" It's making a man out of you Let me love you always Hold your hand on the warm days Light a fire on winter evenings When it's cool You're my lynch pin My soulmate What began on that first date It took me years to realise It was the story of our lives
