I'm only happy,

when I'm nearest you.

It was your love,

that guided me through.

During my long journey back,

it was your love,

that guided me home. 

You were my map, sweetheart.

I was your beautiful dove.

Fluttering my wings.

They were damaged and weak.

I knew I had to get back.

Through the darkness I flew

often falling from flight,

I struggled to lift myself up,

for the long flight home, 

and safety of your heart.

Now so tired and weary,

my wings still bleed,

as I drift in dreams and sleep.

Awaking to your love,

I breathe love from your lungs.

I now know I'm alive, 

Thank God, I'm alive.

From that dreadful moment,

on that horrible night,

I knew it was you. 

It was you,

who kept me alive.

I'm alive!  I'm alive!

and God knows, 

My darling Marie,

it was you,

who kept me alive.

Never never forget,

I will always love you.

I am alive my Darling,

I'm alive.
