Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What you mean to me
Your smile as far as I can see
Is all I ever need to be
And I
Hope you know
That everyday I spend with you
Is all I ever wanted to be
I find is when it's you and me
And you
Will always lead me there
You know I'll always care
I hope you know
That the words I say
Will last until my final day
And guide us through a certain way
Before this night is through
I've won the day by winning you
My heart beats faster when I'm next to you
You are my light you see
It's you who inspires me
To be all that I can be
I hope you know
I hope you know
I hope you see
That the you I know
Makes it so that I can go
Rule the world and always know
That you make me believe
That I don't need tricks up my sleeve
There's nothing that I can't achieve
And I just want you to know
I love you more than ever so
I'm here no matter where you go
I hope you know
I hope you know
