A Million and One

I take the time to say, “I love you”,

Like so many times before.

It’s like saying, “See you later”

As I’m walking out the door.

Every time is like the first time

And you are the prize that I’ve won.

I know that I’ve said it a million times.

This makes a million and one.

 

Everyone tells me I’m lucky.

I can’t help but notice it’s true.

You brought my heart out of darkness.

My life began the day that I met you.

You took a chance, placed your wager,

But I was the gambler who won.

Chance may only be one in a million, but

You are a million and one.

 

Every day life just gets sweeter

As we walk in the sun hand in hand,

And I realize what’s there in your eyes

Knowing you’re more than a lover and friend.

 

Time won’t erase what we’re feeling,

Or take away one simple thing.

We’ll face each new dawn together.

Every day is the first day of spring.

Finding a new way, if need be, to be

Close to you when day is done.

At the end of a million beginnings

We’ll find a million and one.
