I'll Be ...

Ill Be Your Everything

Darling, Ill be your teardrop, should your eyes overflow.

I'd love to be your heartbeat, as throughout life you go.

Let me be your happiness ... all wrapped up inside your heart,

And let me be your heartache, if we should ever part.

Let me be your sunshine, when the rain falls upon your head.

I'll take you in and feed you, when you've gone un-fed.

I'd like to be the soft breeze, to blow upon your face in the sun ...

And if you ever fall in love, I'd like to be the only one.

Let me be your happiness, when your face looks all sad and blue,

And if I could be the mirror that looks right back at you.

I'd be ever so happy, if one day, you'd call my name with love ...

And let me be the cloudless sky, way up there above.

I'd be the blue bird of happiness, to sing to you a song,

And maybe you'd let me cuddle you when the whole world goes wrong

I could be your shadow, who could look back into your face,

Or be the floor you walk upon, should you have the need to pace.

I would be a shoulder to cry upon, should your sorrow be to great to bear,

Or be your best friend, who'd love you through it all, and really care.

I'd even be the casket, should you decide to lay right down and die.

Then I could cover you and hold you, as we tell the whole world good-bye.
