Year: 2008 3:53 3,153 Views Lady, I'm your knight in shining armor and I love you You have made me what I am and I am yours My love, there's so many ways I want to say "I love you" Let me hold you in my arms forever more You have gone and made me such a fool I'm so lost in your love And oh, we belong together Won't you believe in my song? Lady, for so many years I thought I'd never find you You have come into my life and made me whole Forever, let me wake to see you each and every morning Let me hear you whisper softly in my ear In my eyes, I see no one else but you There's no other love like our love And yes, oh yes, I'll always want you near me I've waited for you for so long Lady, your love's the only love I need And beside me is where I want you to be 'Cause, my love, there's somethin' I want you to know You're the love of my life, you're my lady
