Because of You

Each day I wake and see you there, I watch you breathe and stroke your hair. You rustle oh so peacefully, for somehow you can sense it's me.
Slip out of bed, and have my cup, of coffee trying to wake up.
Out to the garage to my old chair, and ponder while I'm sitting there.
Why has my life so changed with you? My every thought, my dream come true.
Simple fate or just pure chance? I don't believe in happenstance.
A greater power, much stronger than, any reason known to man.
Has brought me you, down from the sky. And to this day I don't know why.
But "Because of You" I feel complete, a happiness I can't retreat.
You've brought new meaning to my life, I thank the Lord for you... my Wife.
You make me proud, by compliment, my smallest task or non-event.
A man should feel this way I sense, yet so few don't in self defense.
Much wasted time has passed before, in days of empty pointless score.
But "Because of You" and all you give, I now have purpose, I now can live.
My vow to you Princess Delight, to love your soul each day and night.
Not take for granted your gift of love, forsake reward from God above. 
Forever thankful through and through, this blessed man, "Because of You"
