when the going's getting tough
the one who banishes the fears
when I've almost had enough.
You love me as I am
and can see right deep inside,
what others think, don't give a damn
your arms are open wide.
(Chorus)And you're the one who matters
you'll be there forevermore
and when all the others scatter
of your loving I am sure.
You dance with me beneath the stars
caressing every hope
upon my heart there is no scar
as we slide down rainbow's slope.
Belonging close together
always walking side by side
floaring softly like a feather
through life's journey we shall glide.
(Chorus)And you're the one who matters
you'll be there forevermore
and when all the others scatter
of your loving I am sure.
You're the icing on my cake
and the cherry on the top
when you're not there inside I ache
my heart it almost stops.
The sky may fall, the world may crash
but you're my slice of delight
for thunder roll and lightning flash
we'll not give up without a fight.
(Chorus)And you're the one who matters
you'll be there forevermore
and when all the others scatter
of your loving I am sure.
Author notes
Prompt
She's a yellow pair of running shoes
A holey pair of jeans
She looks great in cheap sunglasses
She looks great in anything
She's I want a piece of chocolate
Take me to a movie
She's I can't find a thing to wear
Now and then she's moody
She's a Saturn with a sunroof
With her brown hair a-blowing
She's a soft place to land
And a good feeling knowing
She's a warm conversation
That I wouldn't miss for nothing
She's a fighter when she's mad
And she's a lover when she's loving
[Chorus]
And she's everything I ever wanted
And everything I need
I talk about her, I go on and on and on
'Cause she's everything to me
She's a Saturday out on the town
And a church girl on Sunday
She's a cross around her neck
And a cuss word 'cause its Monday
She's a bubble bath and candles
Baby come and kiss me
She's a one glass of wine
And she's feeling kinda tipsy
She's the giver I wish I could be
And the stealer of the covers
She's a picture in my wallet
Of my unborn children's mother
She's the hand that I'm holding
When I'm on my knees and praying
She's the answer to my prayer
And she's the song that I'm playing
[Repeat chorus]
She's the voice I love to hear
Someday when I'm ninety
She's that wooden rocking chair
I want rocking right beside me
Everyday that passes
I only love her more
Yeah, she's the one
That I'd lay down my own life for
And she's everything I ever wanted
And everything I need
She's everything to me
Yeah she's everything to me
Everything I ever wanted
And everything I need
She's everything to me
