I want to make you happy
All the days of our life
I want to see you smiling
As I say something nice
I want to satisfy your heart
With every blessing in the world
I want to save your pride
And mend your broken heart
I want to make you forget
That you were ever sad
I want to give you all
That you had ever wanted
I want to bring out the best
That you have inside of you
If only you will let me
I’ll never ever go away
Cos the greatest thing I want
Is just to be with you
Nice, warm ballad, without getting mushy.

For some reason, i like this part. Also the fact that the words used are everyday words, things that everyone can relate with...its not complicated or abstract

Thanks for all your wonderful comments.

ReplyDelete(making allusion to ur last post...Could it be that you are falling in love?)
Reminds me of Ella Fitgerald's "..I want to be happy, but I cant be happy till I make you happy too.."
Loooovely. In a perfect world both halves of every couple would be striving for this.
