Analysis of With You
Beverly Eckenrode 1991 (Pennsylvania)
With you I am complete,
with you I can be me.
With you I don't have to pretend,
with you our love is real.
When I'm with you I feel safe and secure,
I'm deeply in love like never before.
When I'm with you, you always know what say,
It's something about you, you just have that way.
When I'm with you I'm happy as can be,
I want us to live so very blissfully.
