You're My Waking Dream
by Michael Doyle

Many say that love is a journey.
It's felt that way in my memory.
When we met, I knew my destiny
Was the love between you and me.

Whispers build their own monument,
But I know that you are heaven-sent.
From the very first, you said hello
I've waited for all that would follow.

You are my beautiful everything,
The true cause behind why I sing.
I know that you're my waking dream,
To me, the most beautiful human being.

Your sweet eyes shed truth to clarify,
And this feeling between you and I
That tells me that your heart is all I need,
Deeper than any book that I'll ever read.

There is so much to love in your laugh to hear.
The way you smile makes me want you near 
I can hear it in every word you give to me.
As we play with words so tender and lovingly.

You are my beautiful everything,
The true cause behind why I sing.
I know that you're my waking dream,
To me, the most beautiful human being.

Only children usually know this feeling.
It's sent my head spiraling and reeling.
In the way that we so naturally flow.
It doesn't take a wise man to realize and know.

I could never find anyone who so completes me,
Than the you I have found in our possibility.
You teach me moment by moment about my emotions,
As I find in your heart the cause of my devotion.

You are my beautiful everything,
The true cause behind why I sing.
I know that you're my waking dream,
To me, the most beautiful human being.
