There's Nothing Better We Could Do

I want to snuggle up in bed
with your chest propping up my head
and your heartbeat in my ear.
I want silence without sleep
and a soft kiss I can keep
to vanquish all of my fear.

I want to get up close to you
and know our love is indeed true
enough to last as long as we live.
I want the warm touch of your soul
to suck me in and make me whole
so I feel the love you have to give.

I want your body to embrace
me and your hand to stroke my face
so I may feel the love you have for me.
I want to feel you in the night
even though darkness takes my sight,
in the shadows our love I wish to see.

So would you hold me in the night
and tell me every thing's all right
so I return the love to you?
Before you say so
I'd like you to know
there's nothing better we could do.
