Almost ten years in the making, I wrote the first couple stanzas -- the main chorus of the song -- in 1993 but always felt it needed at least one verse to go with it. Fast forward to the present when this song is now the alarm ringtone that wakes me up every the morning (helps me start the day with a sense of adventure!) and from repeatedly singing along with it, the final part recently emerged. And so I present the newly updated version of the song~
When I'm with you
Oh my love
I'm with ev'ry-
Thing that
I dream of
Oh my darlin'
What's to say
But I love you
I love you
I love you
I love you Ole!
When I'm down
And I'm feelin' blue
All I need
Is to think of you
And the sun-
Light comes shining through
Because just like that big magnificent bright burning star
You radiate that glorious light that you are
Turning night into day
No matter what obstacles lie in the way
To my heart
