I Can't Resist

I Can't Resist

I'd grown to think love just a lie
Or fairy tales that don't exist
Until she came into my life
And found that her, I can't resist

To gaze into her eyes and see
Reflected back all that she is
To hold her hands and draw her close
To taste the freshness of her kiss

Soft shivers, tingles in the night
The sighs and longing that I feel
Tell me that love is not a lie
Each fiber tells me that it's real

But if it be a fairy tale
Then her, my dear sweet princess be
And I her knight, always on guard
That no harm will she ever see

Of Ireland and wee folk, too
So many people that we meet
And I chanced to meet only her
I've found in rythm hearts can beat

Soft whispers in the night we speak
And tell of things from others kept
Of silly things and dreams we have
Of hurtful things and tears we've wept

Each word more precious than the last
The ones to come, more precious still
Each day we speak, but not enough
At night more words flow from my quill

With candles burning in the night
And pushing darkness far away
I find I still have more to write
More words to her I need to say
