Can I keep You

Just sitting here thinking about you
Every night and day
Looking at your picture
And wondering what you would say
If I said….

Can I have you always
Always with me?
Holding you forever,
In love could we be?
Can I watch every little thing that you 
do?
Just one question………….
Can I keep you?

Walking on the beach
Holding hands side by side
Watching the setting sun
Against the rising tide
Thinking quietly in the back of my 
head
What would your reaction be
If I looked at you and innocently said..

Can I have you always
Always with me?
Holding you forever,
In love could we be?
Can I watch every little thing that you 
do?
Just one question………….
Can I keep you?

Snuggling up to you
Makes me want to write a song
Something about your beauty
Or something romantic and long
About jumping into your arms
On a cool spring time day
Kissing you softly, on this hill of 
flowers
In which we lay
Then I would just quietly say….

Can I have you always
Always with me?
Holding you forever,
In love could we be?
Can I watch every little thing that you 
do?
Just one question………….
Can I keep you?

Simply looking at you
Gives me the chills
Whenever your eyes fall upon me
I cannot help the way that I feel
As if the skies have opened up
And revealed all the answers to me
Yet there is still some answers left to 
be known
Like what will happen? Or could we 
ever be
So I say…..

Can I have you always
Always with me?
Holding you forever,
In love could we be?
Can I watch every little thing that you 
do?
Just one question………….
Can I keep you?

So can you tell me how you feel
Or show me who you are
What the future holds for us
Or if my wish has come true
My wish upon a falling star

But just one question…………

Can I keep you?
