Because

In the dark of morning I turn to see
the angel sent from heaven
who dreams of me
because that's the way we want to be.

holding hands, publicly unconsciously,
wanting each other,
loving one another and doing so willingly
because that's the way we want to be

arm in arm we long to be,
in private in public for all to see,
liking, laughing, loving, comforting we will be
because that's the way we want to be

side by side as youth slips away,
we look at each other in that knowing,
loving way, together are we
because that's the way we want it to be
