Convinced 

——
I wake up beside you
Still so very much in love
A love that grows in time
Gifted from above

And although things have not been perfect
I suppose this was a necessary step
To cut the wheat from the chaff
And to maintain our self-respect

Now both knowing the ancient truth
We take this well-trod road
A journey of a thousand years
With a future yet untold

So as Spring turns into Summer
And the world turns on its head
You are more than just a lover
My companion and my friend

And if I could change myself for the better
And to mend my broken parts
It will only be because of you
And your beautiful Irish heart.
