Happy Birthday Sweetheart

As we drove home from Zions' National Park yesterday I had some quiet time to listen to John Denver as I drove. I actually became pretty reflective as I listened to the words of many of the songs on the CD. Over the years his song "For You" has become one of my very favorite. He only played the piano occasionally in concert and he wrote this one and played it. You can hear the passion as he sings and plays it and it was amazing to watch him perform it live. But as I listened I realized even more how much it expresses the way that I feel about this guy pictured here. My best friend and sweetheart. I am so enjoying the time we have together and when he's gone I can't wait for him to come home. Happy Birthday Sweetheart. I love you so very much.

"For You"
Just to look in your eyes again
Just to lay in your arms
Just to be the first one always there for you
Just to live in your laughter
Just to sing in your heart
Just to be everyone of your dreams come true
Just to sit by your windows
Just to touch in the night
Just to offer a prayer each day for you
Just to long for your kisses
Just to dream of your sighs
Just to know that I'd give my life for you.

For you all the rest of my life
For you all the best of my life
For you alone, only for you.

Just to wake up each morning
Just to you by my side
Just to know that you're never really far away
Just a reason for living
Just to say I adore
Just to know that you're here in my heart to stay.

For you all the rest of my life
For you all the best of my life
For you alone, only for you.

Just the words of a love song
Just the beat of my heart
Just the pledge of my life, my love for you.

John Denver
