To Be With You

I want you near at the first break of dawn

when flowers are kissed by the dew.

I need your love like the earth needs the rain,

like spring needs a haven of blue.

I want your smile when the bright noonday sun

caresses your cheek and your hair

as you walk down the rose-bordered pathway,

a picture of loveliness there.

I want to hear the sweet sound of you voice,

to be with you where ever you are,

when God gently draws the curtains of night

and fastens them shut with a star.
