She Doesn't Want Me to Know

I thought this night
would last me...forever
but now I find
I just can't get enough

I can see the bigger picture
her writing on the wall above me
I just can't imagine my life without her

What can I do to convince her
to stay with me forever
how am I, just a simple man
going to show her
how in time our love can bloom

But there's always something
that's holding us back
something hidden deep away

something that just won't let go
some kind of hurt
that she doesn't want me to know

She is the sun
and in my universe
she's the light that guides me
you know every where I go
she shines all around me
warming me with her after glow

And when she arises
the whole world shines so bright
this woman that keeps me feeling alive
loving every word that she speaks
I don't want her to ever leave

Even in the darkness
I know she is always there
I can feel her holding my hand
constantly staying away the fear
until we return at the break of dawn

But there's always something
that's holding us back
something hidden deep away

Something that just won't let go
some kind of hurt
that she doesn't want me to know

What can I do to convince her
to stay with me forever
how am I, just a simple man
going to show her
how in time our love can bloom
