The tune of our love sings inside my head
and dies away when you leave my side.
There is nothing else, no other love instead;
no other expectation I could have denied.
That’s why
I want you to be here.

Share with me the slowly glittering dawn.
Share my day, my life, my passions right or wrong.
Believe that it was for this that we were born,
to meet, to join, and rejoice in our love all life long.
That’s why
I want you to be here.

As the sun retreats and the burnished sky takes a darker hue;
as the gilded clouds dissolve and darkness beckons us away;
as the creeping mist hides our world and clothes us with dusk’s dew
let me hold you tight, let me look into your eyes and say
That’s why
I want you to be here

Even our two spirits will entwine, enduring and loving for ever.
We can have no fear when we know this future is there,
when our love is eternal and there can be no never,
when we will always have each other to love and to care.
That’s why
I want you to be here.
