Probably nothing more...
To My Love
July Skies Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
your name to speak
To have you near, to hold my dear
your hand against my cheeks the world I‘d give
I’d cease to live if in your arms
You held me tight your lips on mine
What heavenly paradise
If I'm alone, will die
Cost what it will, O love
With you I plead for just one chance
One chance to prove to you, my love is true
I’d give my life, and gladly
Were it be for you

How quickly beats my heart
My heart beats rapidly when I think of you
your name to speak
When I say your name, it sounds like music to me
To have you near, to hold my dear
I want to be close to you and hold you tightly
your hand against my cheeks the world I‘d give
I would do anything to have you touch me, even give up everything I have
I’d cease to live if in your arms
My life would be complete if I could be held by you
You held me tight your lips on mine
Being kissed by you would be absolute heaven
What heavenly paradise
Being with you is like being in a perfect paradise
If I'm alone, will die
I cannot imagine living without you by my side
How proudly I proffer your every need
I am willing to do anything to make you happy
Cost what it will, O love
I am willing to pay any price to be with you
With you I plead for just one chance
I am begging for the opportunity to show you how much I love you
One chance to prove to you, my love is true
I want to show you that my love for you is real
I’d give my life, and gladly
I would give up everything for you and do it with joy in my heart

To my love Alex, I don’t know when you’ll see this or if you ever will see it. I’m sorry. I’ll never forget you. And I’m so sorry I’ll never give you the family you wanted with me. I’ll miss you so goddamn much. More than you think. I love you, forever and always.
