I Wish I Wish

~You are my wish upon a star 

a wish I wish beyond afar~

~To hold to keep my life to be

to love a woman such as thee~

~To breathe your breath within a kiss

to know the sweet be taste your lips~

~To hear you say I love you do

to know the words I hear be true~

~To lay with you be that my side

knowing you be here all be right~

~To feel your touch against my skin

to hear your heart in beat within~

~To watch you sleep in gentle keep

to know be me you dream your sleep~

~To wake the morn to that a kiss

be all in this that be my wish~

~Too many night a sleepless night

alone I lay unto the light~

~My thought be that in ponder be

in that be you to be with me~

~For that the sweetness of your lips

to breathe your breath within a kiss~

~To hear you say I love you do

this wish I wish I wish come true~

As I Lay Next To You

As I lay next to you at night,                                      

I can see a bright light!

It’s as bright as can be,

brighter than I’ve ever seen!

It’s the light of God’s sweet love,

and it’s coming from Heaven above!

It shines upon you in sleep,

because your soul he does keep!

He has his Angels watching over you,

because he loves you too!

Your so beautiful laying  in my bed,

I thank God it’s you he gave me to wed!

You’re the kindest and most loving of all,

and you make me feel life and stand tall!

I’ll love you ‘til the end of time,

and always be proud that you’re mine!

I don’t want to sleep sometimes at night,

 ‘cause I don’t want to miss that beautiful sight!
