Divorce

You told me, the other night
That you'd thought of leaving me
because it didn't seem right
and you wanted to protect me.

"Divorce" came easily to your lips,
and then it was gone
a conversation you'd forget by morning.
But how could *I* go on?

You're love holds me together
when I'm falling apart.
You're hands cool my fevered brow
and warm my aching heart.

Your body, your mind, your soul,
Your very presence at my side,
Your heart, your eyes,
the love that you cannot hide...

These are the reasons I married you
They are the reasons I stay.
And yet you've thought of ending it
Of taking my life away.

Don't you see,
and can't you understand
that as long as I live,
I'll need you to hold my hand.

When I'm in despair,
wanting a child I can never bare
You're holding my hand - being there
showing me that you care.

When I'm sick with worry
or too little sleep
over some family member
who's life makes me weep...

It's you that calms me
and puts my fears aside
You wrap me in a hugg
and give me a place to hide.

And when I'm so happy,
I just want to shout
You're the one that laughs with me
as I let it all out.

I remember life before you
Like a long and dull dream
and I know my life with you
cannot be as perfect as it seems.

But I know, deep down inside
That I love you, need you
Here by MY side.
