Don't You Know

Don't you know what you mean to me??

Do I always have to say

exactly how I feel?

How you take my breath away??

Don't you know that I hold you

close to my heart all times

When I think of you so far away

I almost lose my mind?

Don't you know that it pains me so

to know that you're with him?

Wish that you could run to me

and follow every whim.

Don't you know how I long for you

and cry myself to sleep

knowing I can't have you

Cause you are his to keep?

Don't you know how I pray each day

that God will change the plan

To quit this course we're traveling on

so I can be your  man?

Don't you know when I lie down at night

you dance all through my dreams?

This longing is a curse for me,

It's harder than it seems.

Don't you know I'd give all I have

to hold you in these arms

To kiss away your cares and fears

And never show you harm?

Don't you know that I'd love your kids

as if they were my own?

We could show them what love is,

the kind they've never known.

Don't you know I'd marry you

in a second if I could?

I'd sacrifice all that I have

Babe, you know I would.

Don't you know you are my world

and nothing else is right?

Because someone else is holding you

while I lie here alone tonight?

This is sad and deep, such a great write. And so emotional.
