Love is a two way street

Your love alone can guide me through the night
I want to spend a lifetime in your eyes
And all of this has come as great surprise
My life had simply been a compromise
Now the way I feel is much more right
No man alive has seen a sweeter sight
The loving that I see within your face
You fill for me that very special case
You give me ways to see beyond the light
I know that I have lost me in this fight
I’ll never be the man I was before
You are the lady that I must adore
No-one will ever doubt me on that score
I never want to have the least respite
