Do you know how beautiful you are?
To me, you're much more beautiful than the stars.
Do you know how your laugh makes me laugh?
Your smile makes everything worth while.
Your voice that can make my heart skip a beat,
Your words between my ears I always seem to keep.
Do you know how much you mean to me?
Do you know how treasured you are?
I'd give my lung and limb just to admire you from afar.
Give my life away and all it's fortunes,
All for a moment within your presence.
I'd choose to live if it only means to die,
Only if it guaranteed I'd die by your side.
Do you know how much you mean to me?
Do you know how cherished you are?
You give me strength even when I'm beaten and marred.
Chant your name in my heart as I miss you,
That smile of yours making me fall in love anew.
I'd build a shrine in your name and postulate with pride,
Bring a thousand joys for each time you cried.
Do you know how much you mean to me?
Do you know how inspiring you are?
Your strength continues to raise the bar!
Finding my courage through your resilience,
But your joy alone will forever be my penance.
For your happiness decides whether I thrive,
Or falter miserably, only living to survive.
Do you know how much you mean to me?
Give me your forever and I swear it won't take forever to see,
Because you will always mean everything to me.
