Just to be Beside You Is Enough by Gabriel Fitzmaurice

 

Just to be beside you is enough,

Just to make your breakfast tea and toast,

To help you with the ware, that kind of stuff,

Just to get the papers and your post;

To hold you in my arms in calm embrace,

Just to sit beside you at the fire,

Just to trace my fingers on your face

Is more to me than all of youth’s desire;

Just to lie beside you in the night,

To hear you breathe in peace before I sleep,

To wake beside you in the morning light

In the love we sowed together that we reap.

Together we have taken smooth and rough.

Just to be beside you is enough.
