This Thing of Ours

Just look at you, lying there
You should see the way the morning dances in your hair
I'm tempted so to wake you just to see
You smile and hold you gently to me for a little while

Like an old guitar growing sweet with age
Like that book you can't put down until you've turned the page
It's knowing that you're always there to fill my glass
You and me together, girl, we've made the first time last

This thing of ours, this love we share
The comfort knowing when I turn I'll find you there
By my side, for the long, long ride
This thing of ours

When it's done and the credits roll
Let it be said together that we stole the show
We'll save the last "I love you" for the curtain call
Let it be said there is a happy ending after all

This thing of ours, this love we share
The comfort knowing when I turn I'll find you there
By my side for the long, long ride
This thing of ours

This thing of ours
