Because My Heart Always Skips a Beat

Patrick Thompson 1981 (Decatur,Alabama)



Seeing you in all of your beauty,
Though I may not tell you everyday,
Reminds me of why I married you,
And you still take my breath away,

I look at you every morning,
As you lie in bed asleep,
I thank God that He sent you,
To be my wife to keep,

I never thought I would love again,
Then you showed up out of the blue,
What started off as a fling you said,
Ended with me falling in love with you,

A dozen years have gone by,
I am loving you more each day,
More ways than I thought were possible,
Are the reasons I fall for you in different ways,

I try coming up with new ways to show you,
Just how I feel and what you mean to me,
But my mind just draws a blank when I see you,
Because My Heart Always Skips a Beat
