Stone Cast
by Michael Doyle

Memory building on this June's night
You walk beside under the pale moonlight
That you're not troubled seems clear
But there's something to the something there

These things are important to you
Let's talk about how it is we will do
This life of ours together every day
I promise my love to you in every way

Come along with me on this walk
With joined hands, we will talk
I want you to confidently know
How our love is, and we will grow

I don't want to set the world on fire
I only want to be your heart's desire
I love you with a heart that is ever true
No one else can mean as much as you

We learn, we think, we blend
Coming together as each other's friend
It's how we share each other's smile
Our worst day is my more than worthwhile

Our comfort levels are achieved
In natural faithfulness believed
And the moon shines as we walk
Holding hands, amazed; I love the way you talk

There's a look of love in your shining eyes
It captivates me as the sun begins to rise
Catching us still awake and still talking
Wrapped in my arms, no longer walking

Remembering, with one look, I could see
That I hoped you would be the one for me
One dream shared with my bride-to-be
Then the thought; maybe love will last an eternity

Once in a lifetime - seen before my eyes
This is a true love unveiled without disguise
It's in the banter that we casually share
That brings us together deeper as we care

I wonder how it will be; together - as we blend
I know you're my lover and my best friend
Being faithful comes completely natural with you
You're my one; my person who will always be true

All my inner demons are tired and put aside
No more struggle; you are my truth, my love I won't hide
It came so fast; too fast? Yet, I'm sure it will last
Our promises made, lips-to-lips, are stone cast
