You're All I've Got

[couchgrouch]

You're All I've GotAs she lay there sleepingI gave her a gentle shakesome things in the darknesswill keep a man awakeI'd thought of my possessionsand what meant the most to meso when her blue eyes openedI whispered quietly,"you're all I've gotall I'll ever needthere's nothing elsethat makes life as sweetfor all the things, in life and dreamsthat can be boughtthey can't mean as much, as your tender touchyou're all I've got"at first she was puzzledat the look upon my facewhile starlight through our windowdressed her skin in laceI brushed her silky hair backand watched a teardrop fallwhen I said, "I may have muchbut in spite of it allyou're all I've gotall I'll ever needthere's nothing elsethat makes life as sweetfor all the things, in life and dreamsthat can be boughtthey'll always mean less, than your tender kissyou're all I've got"she wiped her tearstained cheeksthen began to hold meand though she didn't speakher caresses told me"you're all I've gotall I'll ever needthere's nothing elsethat makes life as sweetfor all the things, in life and dreamsthat can be boughtthey can't mean as much, as your tender touchyou're all I've got"(c)2004 Robert George
