How beautiful you are to me
How beautiful you are to me Let’s take a walk in the forest together, you and I Listening to the robins and bluebirds chirping through the trees A babbling brook flows over rocks Sunlight breaks through green leaves above A family of rabbits scurries up to you, some shyly holding back, some showing love You…

I will be with you In the coldest darkest night When the way is marked by fright When the path is ambiguous despite Hope that seemed in sight Trust me to be your light You may not be saved from your plight But I promise you I will be with you this night
