Just to be the one who can read your mind
An end in itself
We've had our ups and downs like anyone else
And I couldn't do without loving you
Little details that seemed to be trite
Have had a great impact on our lives
The choices we made defined who we became
And I'm still around by your side even now
And I couldn't do without loving you
The black hole that you fell into
Is no longer there to take care of you
The last hope and each faded dream
Spawned the agony that we sometimes feel
A cracked up treasure chest of youth
Never to be restored for me and you
And I was tempted once to leave you
There were times when I would not see clear
I now know I'm not done loving you
No I couldn't do without loving you
