That Certain Look
I lay here quietly
And watch you sleep

The light from the window
Shines on your cheeks

That look on your face
Makes me want you for keeps

This love we share
Comes from the ocean deep

I think of the reasons
Why I love you most

You pour out your love
In an endless dose

All I have to think of
Is our wedding toast

And I know that our lives
Will be forever close

You protect me endlessly
Keeping me under your wing

The happiest moment of my life
Was when you slid on my ring

Still, when you are away
My heart sputters and pings

Exactly like it did when our wedding bells
Just seemed to sing

One thing I hope
You will forever know

Is the way my heart melts
When you look at me so

I get all fluttery
In a childishly shy kind of show

That Certain Look
Makes my happy heart glow
