Love's Melody

For Ryan

I am so afraid
of these feelings inside
All I want to do
is run away and hide

How do I tell you
that you make my heart race?
When I am with you
of me I lose all trace

It hurts me not to tell you
just how you make me feel
You say you really like me
I wonder, can this be real?

Behind a lock I'd placed my heart
and thrown away the key
I don't know how to find it
dear God, please set me free

Without you I'm lost
I don't know what to do
In the dark, you're light
you are my dream come true

I need to tell you
how wonderful you are
A lover, a friend,
a bright and shining star

Waiting for the sun to rise
the light it hits my face
So safe and sound you make me
surrender to love's embrace

Your voice is what I long to hear
a sound so heavenly
Sing for me a song so sweet
a tender melody
