You held me.
You carried me.
You showed me the world.
You love me with all that you have.
You think about me when you wake up and when you go to sleep.
You chase the monsters away and check in the closet.
You sang till my heart was content.
You are my everything.
So…
I will hold you.
I will carry you.
I will you show you the world.
I will love you with all I have.
I will think of you when I wake up and twice when I go to sleep.
I will chase the monsters away and check in the closet.
I will sing till your heart is content.
I will be your everything, and more.
