I feel that I’ve known you a lifetime
Even though I know we’ve just met
Your words in my mind seem to linger
Your face in my dreams; I can’t forget
Your words fall on my ears as poetry
Your heart speaks of commitment and of trust
You show no fear of emotions within you
You seek the rewards of true love; not of lust
You are a gentleman and I am your lady
You are Prince Charming; in a fairy tale
You treat me as if I were a princess
You are my knight; guarding my heart without fail
You are gentle; with you I can be fragile
All my weakness and fears to lay bare
For you are true to yourself; a man of honor
You are a treasure both priceless and rare
You show strength; quite and unpretentious
You will protect all that you hold dear
You are a shield from all that would harm us
Beside you we can face the world without fear
You are a man with a heart of compassion
If I cry you will wipe the tears from my eyes
You will hold me, lift me up, and console me
You will take what is wrong in my world and make it right
I ask myself what I have done to deserve you
Has God finally… sent the answer to my prayers?
For a man with your soul; the richest possession
There is no worldly treasure that compares
Tonight as I whisper words to heaven
Your name on my lips… God will hear
As I count all the blessings He has bestowed me
He’ll know your heart is the one I hold most dear
