#1 - When I Look At You

A word snaps the trance that I'm in

"What?" you say

There's a smile on my face

You want to know what I'm thinking

I tell you part

But how could I ever explain it all?

How do I express what I see when I look at you?

You in a white dress

Me in a suit

Standing in front of the King

I don't think I'll ever be happier

You stop me at the door when I get home

You whisper in my ear

Our family grows

I don't think I'll ever be happier

You lay in bed

A grimace of pain on your face

the pain stops and a baby cries

I don't think I'll ever be happier

I memorize every detail

I don't ever want to forget

I need to be ready for the day you leave

I don't think I'll ever be sadder

Me alone

a broken man

nothing but memories to keep me company

I don't think I'll ever be sadder

I try to stay in the moment

but how can I?

My life stretches before me

both good and bad

That's what I see

when I look at you
