I hope you don't mind,
I hope you don't mind,
that I put into words,
how wonderful life is,
now you're in the world.
-- Elton John, "Your Song"
At last,
My love has come along
My lonely days are over
And life is like a song...
For you are mine
At last...
-- Etta James, "At Last"
In my dreams I'll always see you soar above the sky
And in my heart will always be a place for you,
For all my life
I'll keep a part of you with me
And everywhere I am there you'll be.
-- Faith Hill, "There You'll Be"
There ain't nothin' that I wouldn't do
Go to the ends of the earth for you
Make you happy, make your dreams come true
To make you feel my love.
-- Garth Brooks, "To Make You Feel My Love"
You're the closest to heaven, that I'll ever be.
-- GooGoo Dolls, "Iris"
Only the two of us together flying high upon the wings of love.
-- Jeffrey Osborne, "On the Wings of Love"
All you need is love.
-- John Lennon
Long as I live
Long as I breathe
With every heartbeat
I'll need you near me
-- John Michael Montgomery, "Long As I Live"
Thank you for loving me
For being my eyes
When I couldn't see
For parting my lips
When I couldn?t breathe
Thank you for loving me
-- Jon Bon Jovi
I'm thankful
For the blessing
And the lessons that I've learned with you
By my side
-- Kelly Clarkson, Thankful
There was passion, there was laughter
The first morning after
I just couldn't get my feet to touch the ground
Everytime we were together
We talked about forever
I was certain it was Heaven
We had found.
-- LeeAnn Womack, "Why They Call It Falling"
And I don't regret the rain
Or the nights I felt the pain
Or the tears I had to cry
Some of those times along the way.
Every road I had to take,
Every time my heart would break,
It was just something that I had to get through,
To get me to you.
-- Lila McCann, "To Get Me To You"
I've dreamed of this a thousand times before
But in my dreams I couldn't love you more
I will give you my heart
Until the end of time...
You're all I need, my love, my Valentine
-- Martina McBride, "Valentine"
Even if the sun refused to shine
Even if romance ran out of rhyme
You would still have my heart until the end of time
You're all I need, my love, my Valentine

Love is a temporary madness. It erupts like an earthquake and then subsides. And when it subsides you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have become so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion. That is just being "in love" which any of us can convince ourselves we are.
Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident. Your mother and I had it, we had roots that grew towards each other underground, and when all the pretty blossom had fallen from our branches we found that we were one tree and not two.
