I never could have you

because it wasn't designed

I never could love you

"love" as you'd have it defined

I never could leave you

you're my heart, you're my mind

I never could save you

but I won't leave you behind

My love for you goes so far beyond love

You're my angel, you're my dove

You're my all of the above

I love you as myself, as my child, my best friend

who I'll protect and I'll defend

from the beginning to the end

I'm protecting you now, and I wish you could see

that I would give up all of me

if it would help set you free

Free to fly with your babies at the world's demise

To not see tears in their eyes

as they're crying goodbye's

We have to bow down before we can rise

and on the day the world dies

I want you all in the skies

They say don't look for love

because love is blind

They say the art of love

is a frame of mind

They say easy love

is hard to find

They say we're not together

but I won't leave you behind
