I Love You With All My Heart

I love you with all my heart
Always afraid to make a new start
I guess I should see what might be
I just wonder when you’re going to hurt me

Beat up and drug through the mill
Have I lost all of my will?
I could move and take the chance
The scary thing is, it’s the same song and dance

I see you’re different from all the rest
This gives me peace and I could move from my nest.
Is this a new beginning or a new end?
A soft, strong hand is what you need to lend!

My feelings are honest and open
So talk to me to stop my moping
I know this is kind of sappy
Just talk to me and make me happy
I would move from north to south, east to west
Something inside tells me you’re the best.
What is in your heart and mind
Don’t worry, you don’t have to be kind

You say do what I want,
What if I want you?
Are you ready to accept that
Or would you make me blue?

Can you accept what comes your way
Or would you crawl in a hole and stay?
I can deal with a heartache
It is my love for you I have a stake

I don’t want to lose you but I’m at a stand still
I guess I haven’t lost all of my will!
I’ve talked to you and I’ll wait until
When you decide, what’s your desires
And we will both see what life requires
