Belonging

I wanted love so very bad that

I could almost taste it

And so I gave mine all to you

And hoped you would not waste it

I laid awake the whole night long

And wondered was I wrong

But when you woke and touched my face

I knew that I belonged

Belonging to someone I find is very necessary

The load is lighter on your mind

When someone helps to carry

And even though I'm strong enough

To make it on my own

I would not even care to try

To live my life alone

For if I lived my life alone

With no one to belong to

There'd be no one to pledge my heart

Or sing my song of love to

My melodies would soon dry up

And the words would leave me too

It all would come to pass if I

Could not belong to you

I wanted love so very bad that

I could almost taste it

And when I gave mine all to you

I knew you would not waste it
