You Own My Heart

I never knew pain, until I missed you
	Now I feel free from the pain I once held
I never knew beauty, until I held your view
	Now the beauty of the world has opened up for me
I never knew sacrifice, until I let you go
	Now I know you’ll come back and I’m filled with glee
I never knew love, until I felt my heart grow
	Now I embrace what I once withheld

I never heard songbirds, until I heard your voice
	Your words are whispers in my ear
I never learned freedom, until you taught me choice
	You lead me straight when I start to stray
I never heard laughter, until you wiped my tears
	You pick me up when despair holds me sway
I never learned trust, until you soothed my fears
	You hold me close, tender and revere

I never dared to dream, I’d arrive at happiness’s door
	You came to my rescue
I never believed I’d see, a reversal of my perpetual bore
	You brought excitement to my life
I never thought I’d be, exempt from struggles, strain, and pain
	You eased all my strife
I never thought I’d say, you give me the reason to love again 
	My heart belongs to you
