If Tonight Was the Night

If Tonight Was The Night
By MEH3

If tonight was the night 
that I asked you to be my wife 
it seems so right 
Because I am ready to start a new life
Yes, a new life with you
while enjoying the view
of having you by my side

But it would not be right 
to show you my hand 
So in the meantime I am coming up with a master plan 
A plan to take your hand as I promise to be your man 
Through the thick and the thin
Making sure I mend 
All the broken pieces
until the very end

Because I want to be your man
and even your best friend
While we enjoy this love coaster
laughing, joking and even crying
I will be your heart with ears
you can whisper to me all your secrets and fears
take my shoulder girl, it's yours 
I promise to be your protector and provide all your needs

Being that romantic guy you want me to be
Surprising you with flowers 
planning picnics under a Willow Tree
Even taking exotic trips
with meals we cannot pronounce, Mi Amore 
because you deserve the world

So do not go far
please stay near
Yes, near my heart 
making sure we are never far apart 
Because no matter how far you are 
you will always be in my heart
I even pray that if I do not see another day
that you understand that on this day
I was the happiest man ever to be able to say 
Yes, I do love you more and more each day.
