Last night    You saw me cry   For the first time   And I know it hurt you    That you couldn't comfort me   And you had to hide   I can show my weakness   I don't mind if you see   But showing you where I'm strong   Yeah, that's the hardest for me      [Chorus]   'Cause I'm strong when you're near   I'm strong when I look into your eyes   I'm strong with every word you say   I know you would be surprised   That you are what defines my love   The day our eyes first met   I can't imagine my life without you   And you're the only one    Who doesn't know this yet      Sometimes I just feel like   We're more distant than islands   Oh, what I would give   To have a simple touch of your hand   It really eats me up inside   That I can't explain    I feel so alone when you're not around   When I can’t see your face      [Chorus]   'Cause I'm strong when you're near   I'm strong when I look into your eyes   I'm strong with every word you say   I'm sure you would be surprised   That you are what defines my love   The day our eyes first met   I can't imagine my life without you   And you're the only one    Who doesn't know this yet      I hope this song gets to you   Some time soon   I put it in a nice orange envelope   It should be there by noon   'Cause I never had the strength   To tell you why you are   The only one who gets to me   And you're the only shining star   In my lonely sky   That I'll get lost in tonight   And as I stare at the moon   I'll see your reflection   And I’ll know what all this time was for   To see your true perfection
