Why On Earth I Love Such a Man

Each night I whisper softly 
Why on earth I love such a man
As you sleep quietly next to me 
Your eyes closed and mouth still 
Brings a smile upon mine 


I never anger when I am asked 
Why on earth I love such a man 
For I take no greater pleasure 
In thinking each of the ways
I only name that of a fair few 


Aloud to those wondering ears 
Why on earth I love such a man 
As I could not give each pleasant thought 
To each passing of those people near 
Or shower them with ways 


The notion that they too need to know 
Why on earth I love such a man 
If they knew of that tender smile 
Or the soft kisses you place on my lips 


What could occur would be such a fear 
Why on earth I love such a man 
That any other woman could love 
If given the chance with your sweet ways 
Or laid upon these white cotton sheets 


So perhaps next time when I am asked 
Why on earth I love such a man 
I’ll keep my thoughts in my head 
And sit there with a grin upon my face 
For they will never know in which the ways


Why on earth I love such a man
