The prisoner (mystery/thriller)

I can't live without your smile
And I know
Every time I'm feeling down
You come by and
Hold my hand and
Mess my hair and
Make me laugh and blow the clouds away

Can't wait to dance with you
Once again
I just love when you're around
Feels like
Skies and rivers
Woods and flowers
All the world's vibrating just for us
Please remember

Count your blessing
At every sunset
In those moments
I will think of you
How could I live before we met?

Can't live without your eyes
You should know
I will never let you down
And I want us
To be in love
Like this forever
Or at least until we're ninety-nine

You're just the easiest thing to love (x 5)
