All my life

I know I've stood beside you on your porch to watch you write
  I've felt you touch my shoulder as I wrote
I want to hold your hand and take a walk with you tonight
  Or you could take me down to see your boat
I know I've kissed good morning to your lips to watch you smile
  I've felt you tuck me safely into bed
I want to be beside you and to stay there for a while
  You'll live for all my lifetime in my head
I want to hold your poems in my hands to feel your heart
  I want for you to hold my words the same
I wish with all I am that we were not so far apart
  I want to see your hands spell out my name
I never want to say goodbye I want to keep you near
  Why should we not be closer than we are
I'll sit with you to watch the moon, tonight the sky is clear
  We'll pick a single light to be our star
I never thought I'd feel this way I thought my love was through
  That I had played the game and then retired
I didn't know that you were there to show me what to do
  And make me feel I'd always be inspired
I do not know if we will meet as lovers or as friends
  And I won't die if we stay just like this
I'll know that I have found a share that pays good dividends
  And all my life I'll wait for just one kiss
