More than Love

by Dan Cousins ©

(for Laura)

when i look in your eyes
it's more than just looking
i forget what normal feels like
it's more like i'm floating
but what can i do
but stare at you
because staring does something
that looking just won't do

when we start to dance
it's more than just dancing
each move you make is
poetry in the making
even without a song
we'll sway along
to the rhythm created
by our heartbeats

people say
i love you everyday
but i more than love you
is more what i want to say

when i'm with you
it's more than just being
i‘m full of life
but it's more than just living
because the way you’re you
lets me be me
in a way that's more than
i thought i could be

when i kiss your lips
it's more than just kissing
time stands still
like the earth just stopped spinning
remember our first kiss
felt something like this
it was more than exactly
how i hoped it would be

people say
i love you everyday
but i more than love you
is more what i want to say

what love exists that no word can say
‘cause i love loving you more and more everyday

my love for you
is more than just loving
because loving you forever
is just the beginning
more than dreams come true
is spending my life with you
and every night
more than singing you this lullaby

people say
i love you everyday
but i more than love you
is more what i want to say

i more than love you
i much much more than love you
