WE WERE MEANT TO BE

Ours is beyond what the eyes can see
Held in the clutches of eternity 
A love declared by the lips of angels 
Two hearts overflowing 
Like an artesian well 

You are the light of all my days 
Your love unfolds in many beautiful ways 
It keeps me safe in its cocoon 
Then transforms my life
From a half to a full moon 

And though at times we are surprised 
By those unpredictable storms 
Our love undaunted faces the fire
And on eagles wings 
Guides us safely home

For the rest of my days 
By your side I'll remain 
Until death enfolds me

And without a doubt 
I will shout it aloud 
That our love was meant to be.
