I want to be the reason

For the smile upon your face

I want to be the reason

For your loving, soft embrace

I want to be the reason

That you wake up every day

I want to be the reason

Why it is you choose to stay

I want to be the reason

You sleep in peace at night

I want to be the reason

To be kissed and held so tight

I want to be the reason

Your eyes light when we meet

I want to be the reason

That your heart skips a beat

I want to be the reason

For your purpose in this world

I want to be the reason

That your passion is unfurled

I want to be the reason

That is just between us two

I want to be the reason

For you saying 'I love you'
