THE BEST WAY TO KEEP YOU MINE

THE BEST WAY TO KEEP YOU MINE

I never needed golden rings
Or promises you made,
Just little acts of kindness
When sunlight starts to fade.

No chains around your wrists, love,
No walls to keep you near,
Just laughter in the quiet times
And comfort through each tear.

I’ll listen when your words are lost,
I’ll stand close by your side,
I’ll never make you question
If the love we share has died.

I’ll give you room to breathe, love,
And wings to freely fly,
For if your heart belongs with mine,
You’ll never say goodbye.

I’ll never try to change you,
Or tell you what to be,
The best way I can love you
Is letting you be free.

We’ll change throughout the seasons,
Yet still our hearts will know,
The best way to keep you mine
Is letting our love grow.

And when our hair turns silver,
And time has touched each face,
I’ll hold you just as tenderly
In our familiar place.

So if you ask me how I’ve kept
Your heart throughout the years,
I’ll say I loved you faithfully,
With trust instead of fears.
