Well I bet my buddies are out on the town tonight
Dancin’ in the smoke in the glow of the neon lights
I’m sure they’re out there cuttin’ up and drinkin’
But I don’t mind ’cause I got you by my side
Wearin’ my old sweatshirt and your favorite pair of jeans
Barefoot on the couch curled up next to me
Oh I got everything I’ve ever needed
In you
I’ve found it in you
(Chorus)
Well maybe I’m just lucky
But baby that’s okay
Some people search the whole world over
Just to find a love that’s even half as true
As the love I’ve found in you
ooh ooh
Well I wonder where I’d be if the Lord hadn’t heard my prayer
The one I said every night ’til the day that you got here
You’ve showed me how to live in love forever with you
Oh baby I love you
(Repeat Chorus)
Some things really last forever
Yes some things are meant to be
Like you and me
Oh yeah
Let your love shine on
Shine on and on and on
Oh
Oh yeah
Well maybe we’re just lucky
But baby that’s okay
Some people search the whole world over
Just to find a love that’s even half as true
As this love I’ve found in you
ooh ooh
I found in you
Yeah I found in you
So, went out and bought the new CD and can’t get enough of the songs… had a great time listening to this while I was painting a room with my girl…
It is an incredible feeling to be this lucky, to feel like I’ve found a second chance at something I thought I’d missed out on by being too damn young and too stubborn to admit to myself I knew better…
I find myself grinning… “you’ve shown me how to live in love forever…” and she has… in so many ways, big, small, everything… in the simplest ways … the sweetness of a smile in the dim morning light… the sound of a sigh wrapped in my arms…even putting ice in a glass of water because she knows I prefer it that way… she shows me every day… lives it with me, even when we can’t be together…
I know I’m lucky, but I also know it is far more… one cannot find a match such as this, share the view of a future filled with far more than dreams ever hoped were possible… some people settle with what they think is all life can be, others fill the emptiness they fill with any number of pitiful decisions…
As I look ahead, considering everything that might be, all the choices I’ve made people have said were risky, or weren’t ok, all the choices I felt with every part of who I am were the exact choices I needed to make to have a chance at truly living… and now, there is no question… there is no other direction I would want to turn…
The pieces of me I thought were shattered, gone, destroyed beyond recognition… weren’t… and so far… there are very few pieces left to fall in place… and as hard, achingly difficult, painful, more challenging than any other experience in my life… I have no doubt it has been worth the wait, worth the challenge, worth the tears, worth the smiles, the moments of quiet in the storms we have weathered together in which we were both reminded in no uncertain terms we were so completely and totally “right” about everything… we knew, and we fought, side by side, no matter what … unstoppable…
My love, my all… every single day I am reminded, I’ve found the love of my life in my best friend…
