Structure

I found a love for me

.Well darling just dive right in and follow my lead

.Well I found a girl beautiful and sweet

.I never knew you were the someone waiting for me

.Cause we were just kids when we fell in love

.Not knowing what it was

.I will not give you up

.This time

.Darling just kiss me slow

.Your heart is all I own

.And in your eyes you're holding mine

.Baby I'm

Dancing in the dark

.With you between my arms

Barefoot on the grass

.While listening to our favorite song

.When you said you looked a mess

.I whispered underneath my breath

.You heard it

Darling you look perfect tonight

.Well, I found a woman stronger than anyone I know

.She shares my dreams, I hope that someday I'll share her home

.I found a lover to carry more than just my secrets

.To carry love, to carry children of our own

.We are still kids but we're so in love

.Fighting against all odds

.I know we'll be alright this time

.Oh darling, just hold my hand

.Be my girl, I'll be your man

.I see my future in your eyes
