Story Behind The Song

written for my fiancee as a wedding present

Song Description

The joy that comes from being with someone who loves you unconditionally is hard to express, although we've all tried. There is also a lot to be said about the give and take in a relationship. I use to prefer the take until I learned how wonderful giving can be. This is a song about the learning curve of love.

Lyrics

TAKE MY HAND
LOOK INTO THESE EYES, THEY'LL TELL YOU
EVERYTHING MY HEART'S BEEN TRYING TO SAY
EVERY WISH
TOOK EVERY STAR TO FIND YOU
FOR EVERY SMILE, WHAT MAKES ME FEEL THIS WAY
IS A LITTLE SOMETHING ONLY YOU CAN BRING
'CAUSE IT'S YOUR LOVE I KEEP DISCOVERING

YOU'VE SHOWN ME WHAT IT MEANS
TO LET YOUR HEART BELONG TO SOMEONE ELSE
TO GIVE THEM EVERYTHING
AND FEEL IT ALL COME BACK LIKE MAGIC
THE ART OF FALLING
WHEN YOU TRUST AND BELIEVE
NEVER STOP TEACHING ME
THE BEST PART ABOUT LEARNING
IS I LOVE THE WAY YOUR LOVE KEEPS CHANGING ME

HERE WE ARE
TWO OF THE LUCKY ONES
THESE BATTLES WE SURVIVE WILL ONLY MAKE US STRONG
THIS I KNOW
THOUGH OUR DREAMS HAVE JUST BEGUN
LONG AS YOUR HERE WITH ME THAT'S WHERE MY HEART BELONGS
THAT FIRE, THOSE EYES, THAT SMILE AND YES, YOUR GENTLE WAY
FORGIVE ME WHEN I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY

YOU'VE SHOWN ME WHAT IT MEANS
TO LET YOUR HEART BELONG TO SOMEONE ELSE
TO GIVE THEM EVERYTHING
AND FEEL IT ALL COME BACK LIKE MAGIC
THE ART OF FALLING
WHEN YOU TRUST AND BELIEVE
NEVER STOP TEACHING ME
THE BEST PART ABOUT LEARNING
IS I LOVE THE WAY YOUR LOVE KEEPS CHANGING ME

YOU'VE SHOWN ME WHAT IT MEANS
TO LET YOUR HEART BELONG TO SOMEONE ELSE
TO GIVE THEM EVERYTHING
AND FEEL IT ALL COME BACK LIKE MAGIC
THE ART OF FALLING
WHEN YOU TRUST AND BELIEVE
YOU'VE SHOWN ME WHAT IT MEANS
TO LET YOUR HEART BELONG TO SOMEONE ELSE
TO GIVE THEM EVERYTHING
AND FEEL IT ALL COME BACK LIKE MAGIC
THE ART OF FALLING
WHEN YOU TRUST AND BELIEVE

THE BEST PART ABOUT LEARNING
IS I LOVE THE WAY YOUR LOVE KEEPS CHANGING ME
