All I Wanted

  

You know I never expected

Anything from you

If anything at all

Just for you to be true to you

 

Love comes into our lives

And we may wonder why

Cupid’s aim is on target

The target heart of mine

 

I might have wondered why me

But I never complained

I just thanked God above

For when that blessing came

 

Sharon, you showed to me

The real value of love

Whether or not you loved me

I know it was a gift from above

 

And in loving you

I learned what love is all about

That love isn’t about having what you want

But more of what you can’t live with out

 

In my life

I’ve known love all but ten of my years

At sixty-seven, I figure I’ve done aright

Some people sadly don’t know love at all

For them I say, “I hope they see that light”

 

For its having love in your heart

Whether at your side or not

Its knowing love is there at all

With your smile, for me it means a lot

 

In the end I know

My life’s only wish was granted

I found the love of my life

All I wanted
