Up To Me

If it were all up to me
I would spend all day long
at your side
in your arms
and not anyplace else.

Where it is safe
and secure
so fulfilled and fantastic
just like magic this moment
and all the closeness that's felt.

In the warmth of your glow
where I go
to feel free
understanding in silence
everyword left unsaid.

Holding tight
to your hand
with our hearts growing close
knowing well it will work
when it's all up to me.

If it were all up to me
in the heat of the moment
we'd defeat every doubt
and take each new day in stride.

In your touch there is tenderness
gentle and passionate
an unimagined emotion
like the ocean and tides.

And when love overtakes me
and it makes me so certain
that it's safe to fall softly
and then land where you'll be.

I'll rejoice and redeem
each miraculous dream
in a stream near a mountain
familiar to me.

And at the break of the dawn
on a beach of white sand
walking slowly but surely
toward all we can be.

Where the sun slowly rises
to the height of the skies
we will stand
hand-in-hand
when it's all up to me.
