I cannot control my heart,
For you alone can hear its beat.
I cannot control my laugh,
For it is only real for you.
I cannot control my eyes,
For you alone are what I see.
I cannot control my tears,
For now I only cry for you.
I cannot control my smile,
For you alone bring it to life.
I cannot control my tongue,
For it can only speak of you.
I cannot control my ears,
For you alone they wish to hear.
I cannot control my mind,
For it can only think of you.
I cannot control my hands,
For yours alone they long to hold.
I cannot control myself
For I'm not whole 'til I'm with you.
I cannot control my dreams,
For you're my only fantasy.
I cannot control my heart
Because I am in love with you.
