Lyrics

My Reason To Be
Words and Music by Bernie Sims

Another day, chasing a hundred details.
Don't want to miss one - couldn't bear to fail.
My day can be long, the intensity high.
Want to go furthest, not just get by.

Now driving home, I wake up to the world.
The river's guiding me to you.
I feel myself calming, settling down.
Headed home to the one love that I know is true.

You are my reason to be.
You're the lyric to my melody.
Your gift to me is every day
Forever won't be long enough - for our love.

Imagine all the errands are done
Now it's only the two of us, one on one.
Now is the time to share just ourselves.
Nothing else matters when time stands still.

I guess I'd believed, that love meant compromise
And not to dream for it all.
But you have changed that, true love is here and alive
Looking back at me from the sparkle in your eyes.

You are my reason to be.
You're the lyric to my melody.
Your gift to me is every day
Forever won't be long enough - for our love.

You keep the time in my life
You're the shine in my shining star.
Your gift to me is every day
Forever won't be long enough - for our love.

You are my reason to be.
You're the lyric to my melody.
Your gift to me is every day
Forever won't be long enough - for our love.

You keep the time in my life
You're the shine in my shining star.
Your gift to me is every day
Forever won't be long enough - for our love.
