I
couldn’t see the moon when she stepped into my life
And
I couldn’t see the sun when she stepped out of the light
I
couldn’t feel the cold when we stepped into the night
Oh,
I couldn’t feel the warmth, though she made me feel alright
I
couldn’t see the girls as they walked across my path
And
I couldn’t check a girl without facing all her wrath
I
couldn’t live a day without nursing to her laugh
Oh,
we should stay at home tonight, I’ll make a bubble
bath
I
shouldn’t breathe the air if I can’t breathe it by her side
I
shouldn’t hide my fears, although she knows I’ve tried
I
shouldn’t kiss the moon without first saying goodnight
Oh,
I shouldn’t write a tune if it ain’t for her I write
I
couldn’t hear the sounds when she whispered in my ear
And
I couldn’t feel my legs when I shook with nervous fear
I
couldn’t see the clouds when the sky was all but clear
And
I couldn’t feel the rain as she cried and held me near
I
couldn’t feel the breeze when she breathed upon my face
And
I couldn’t see a thing but her beauty, coup de grace
I
couldn’t feel the time as it passed by as I chased
I
couldn’t spoil her rotten, though I did, just in case
I
couldn’t feel the burn when she lay across my chest
And
I cannot feel alone, when I know I love you best
I
shouldn’t feel distressed, for I know our love is blessed
Oh,
I can’t wait for the days we bring our babies home to nest
I
couldn’t steal a kiss without going home to brag
And
I couldn’t take your hand without first asking your dad
I
can’t describe our feelings shared or all the love we’ve had
And
so I’ll stay at home tonight to tell a lonely writing pad
