When I See Your Face



When I see your face, I fall in love every time,
And the details of your face just fills my mind.

When I see your face, every day my heart fills with love, And every night, I thank the Lord above.

When I see your face, I know one day, my heart you will steal,
But as I look at your face, I wonder, is this for real.

When I see your face, I know for you, I'll do all I can,
And at those moments I realize to myself, Lord, I love this man.

When I see your face, I know that this was meant to be, And in those precious moments, I'm so glad that God sent you to love me.

When I see your face, with you is where I belong,
I then say to myself, additional Happiness.....what took you so long.

When I see your face, I know I am safe from all harm, Because with you, I hear bells, whistles, and no alarms.

When I see your face, with you is where I want to stay, And with you is where, I will be forever and always.

When I see your face, with you is where I want to spend all my life,
And every day I pray that one day I will be your wife.
