take my hand and show me
just where I need to go
light my path while you run my bath
tell me
what I need to know.
I never knew that
something
so good for me could feel
so easy, fun and simple
(as you cook our evening meal).
And if I’d never
met you,
I think I’d be all right
I wouldn’t ever miss
the way you
hold me close
all night;
I’d cook, and do the housework
all by myself, it’s true
(although there wouldn’t be, I know
so much of it to do)
I’d have my cat, and books
and things
(and friends
and family)
a life lived out in books, that doesn’t
sound too bad to me.
It didn’t happen that way
and for that, I’m glad
you give me so much
joy in life
more than I ever had.
