Never thought I would, find the words that could
Stand up through any weather
Something I could say, you could hear today
But stay with you forever
Just when I was losing my faith, and I was losing my way
It came to me as clear as day

Even if I wake up and find I'm alone
Cause the whole world's turned to stone
And my God says it's time I take you home
I'll be happy going knowing that I loved you

Innocent and mild, must be heaven's child
Sent to make me believe
On my darkest night, all you have to do is smile
And you breathe new life into me
Just when I was losing my faith, and losing my way
You came to me as clear as day

Even if I wake up and find I'm alone
Cause the whole world's turned to stone
And my God says it's time I take you home
I'll be happy going knowing that I loved you

There'll be a time
When I'm gonna have to leave this sweet place behind
But baby before I go, I gotta make sure you know
'Bout the joy that you bring to my life

Even if I wake up and find I'm alone
Cause the whole world's turned to stone
And my God says it's time I take you home
I'll be happy going knowing that I loved you
Hey baby - I tried to find a video of Amel Larrieux singing this song on YouTube, but no luck. :( I've revisited a bunch of her songs recently and can't believe how much they make me feel like they were written just for us! "What's Come Over Me?" reminds me of when we first started falling in love..."Make Me Whole" TOTALLY speaks of how you and I were created specifically for one another...and this song, "Even If" describes the way that our love for one another was so true, so real, and brought so much JOY to our lives that nothing else mattered! No trials, no circumstance, not even the Lord calling one of us home could cause our love to waver! Now THAT'S what it means to be BLeSSeD with a LoVe so rare! Not to sound sure of myself in an arrogant way, but I must say that I wouldn't be suprised if you dedicated this song to me on one of the Heavenly "Love Zone" radio shows you're probably listening to up there! :)

Just so you know, if I had a way to tap-into a dedication line up there, my song of choice to express how I feel about you and how grateful I am that you 'picked me' would have to be "Because of YOU" by Keith Martin. Like to hear (read) it? Here it goes...

If ever you wondered if you touched my soul, yes you do
Since I met you I'm not the same
You bring life to everything I do

Just the way you say hello
With one touch I can't let go
Never thought I'd fall in love with you...

Because of you, my life has changed, thank you for the love and joy you bring
Because of you, I feel no shame, I'll tell the world it's because of you

Sometimes I get lonely and all I gotta do is think of you
You captured something inside of me
You make all of my dreams come true

It's not enough that you love me for me
You reached inside and touched me eternally
"I love you" best explains how I feel for you...

Because of you, my life has changed, thank you for the love and the joy you bring
Because of you, I feel no shame, I'll tell the world it's because of you

The magic in your eyes
True love I can't deny
When you hold me I just lose control
I want you to know that I'm never letting go
You mean so much to me I want the world to see,
It's because of you

Because of you, my life has changed, thank you for the love and the joy you bring
Because of you, I feel no shame, I'll tell the world it's because of you
My life has changed thank you for the love and the joy you bring
Because of you, I feel no shame, I'll tell the world it's because of you...

Because of YOU
So baby, we used to wonder what came over us in the beginning, but always remember that because of YOU, I am whole...and even if I don't see tomorrow, I'll be happy having known that I LOVE YOU MORE!!! ;)
