With Every Second That I Can I hold her face within my hands In the darkness of night and tell Her that I love her like no other. I look into her eyes to see a Youth riddled by my heart and Watch a love tinted in sorrow And a strength I've never seen before. The silence that falls on my words, I understand all too clearly with My mind, but my heart just doesn't Want to let go. For she is beauty and perfection To me, and one day I'll have To watch her leave, until then Though I'll love her with every Second that I can.
