“A Love That's Here To Stay”
By
Jack Dowdy
Your kisses are like pearls, so different and so rare in this world
I'd love to run my fingers through your dark cascading hair unfurled

I love you perhaps so much more than I could ever truly show
But somehow within I do suspect that you already know

For you destroy my sorrow and my horrid misery
And you erase all of my pain with love and sympathy

So if I had but just one wish one single chance to spend it true
Deciding would be such a cinch I'd simply wish for more of you

Your fragrance is much sweeter than the roses in the spring
And through your warm and soft embrace both love and joy you bring

The moon up in the sky at night
Seems so pale and plain despite
The stars that so light up the night
The stars, they shine for you

The lunar lady moon at night
Is just afraid, and quite up-tight
For it's you, not she, who shines most bright
She knows it to be true

Your gaze gives off a soft warm glow
And seeing it I always know
That love, from you to me, does flow
It just blows me away

And every day I stand amazed
Of just how deeply I am phased
Yet I know I have only grazed
A love that's here to stay
