Out of the dark and great despair
that blew my world apart
my love for you grew greater still
and lit up my whole heart
Out of the blackest, coldest night
my soul had ever known
I held on to your love and found
new life within it's warmth
Out of the ashes of my life
when no one seemed to care
you stood beside me, right or wrong
and helped my cross to bear
Out of my life throughout the years
together or apart
there's always you to share it all
living within my heart
For you're the part of me that's real
the part of me that's good
the part you saved so long ago
from wasting all its youth
For that and many, many things
too numerous to mention
I would risk all to be with you
even the Hell's damnation
Some people say that you're no good
that you will surely hurt me
Can they not see the love in you
whenever you embrace me?
Why can't they look inside your eyes
and see love shining there?
for thru the years both good and bad
you've shown how much you care
That you've hurt others, so have I
we are human and imperfect
We have both tasted fully from Life's wine
not only taste the surface
