"Life as it Stands"

I'm not one for much emotion, I avoid it if I can.
Never been too big into tears, it's a pointless way to end.
I stand before you now, and I could fall down to my knees.
Let me share this moment -- I can't, toss it blindly to the breeze.

It's an act of desperation -- this putting it all into words.
Summing up feelings this strong, it's such an overwhelming urge.
I want to leave you tonight, with something dancing in the air.

I've fallen in love, with this life as it stands.
I've lived my wildest dreams -- you've helped me prove that I can.
From now on there'll be nothing I'll surrender -- 
     no chance left to the wind.
This'll be the one beginning that's never going to end.

Do you believe what you feel, is it real what we have shared?
You've opened up worlds inside of me, 
     and I was hoping you would care --
To give me just one last memory, inside this last breath of the moon.
The sun is drowning out the stars, it'll all be over too soon.

It's an act of desperation -- the way we race against the day.
I'll tell you everything, just to say what I need to say.
I'm gonna leave you tonight, with something dancing in the air.

I've fallen in love, with this life as it stands.
I've lived my wildest dreams -- you've helped me prove that I can.
From now on there'll be nothing I'll surrender -- 
     no chance left to the wind.
This'll be the one beginning, that's never going to end.
