Story Behind the Song
Fans have frequently stated that this poem would make excellent wedding vows, but to date, I have not been told whether anyone has used it for that purpose, or not.
Lyrics
I want to...
Trace the outline of your face with my finger,
Have your tender lips upon my lips linger,
Feel your heart beating for me within your chest
And upon your shoulder, have my head rest.
I want to...
Hear, from the next room, your voice calling my name,
Know that many of the thoughts we have are the same,
Slow-dance, barefoot, with you on the cool kitchen floor
And know the heat of passion with you behind a closed door.
I want to...
Whisper your name and words of love into your eager ears,
Have your gentle, caring mouth kiss away my tears,
Savor each one of your sensual kisses, sweeter than wine,
And always walk beside you with your hand holding mine.
I want to...
Tenderly look in the intimate color of your sparkling eyes,
Hear the gentle, but thrilling sound of your loving sighs,
Find safety and solace in your unwavering embrace
And see your love clearly written on your precious face.
I want to...
Go to sleep with your arms wrapped around me tight,
Know you are right there beside me throughout the night,
Affectionately kiss you atop your adored and precious head
And assure you that your are my one and only, my dearly beloved.
I want to...
One day have you place upon my left hand a band of purest gold,
Know that symbol of love will be there when we have grown old,
Have always, upon my neck, the sweet warmth of your breath
And promise to cherish only you from this moment until my death.
