The Proposal
I could say what everyone expects, that our love is real and our love is true
But doing the obvious isn't in my nature, it just wouldn't do
It wouldn't be good enough to me, for you
It wouldn't be good enough after all the hell we've both been through
I love you now, like I loved you then
Strong and true, with a passion that will never end
You are the answer to my prayers, the girl of my dreams
You have me true love, when I used to think I'd never know what it means
When I look into your eyes I see, everything I've ever wanted to be
I see a man who provides for his family, doing what comes naturally
I see a man loves you madly, deeply, freely, and last, not least but most importantly, is now down on one knee asking and hoping just one thing...
Will you marry me?
