Pernell

The ocean breeze was blowing soft and low

You picked me up and wouldn't let me go

Carried in your arms across the evening sand

I knew right then I held a caring man

You pull me close and whisper, "I love you"

A protective heart, so steady and so true

Pernell, you're the first true love I ever had

The one who lifts me up whenever I am sad

One lifetime isn't long enough for what we're meant to do

I want a couple of forevers, just to spend with you

Yes, I found my forever love in you

You trace your fingers softly down my cheek

And kiss my forehead, giving me the peace I seek

You look into my eyes and softly say,

"You are my baby, and I'm never walking away."

"I'm so in love with you," you breathe into the night

With a soul so giving, you make everything alright

Pernell, you're the first true love I ever had

The one who lifts me up whenever I am sad

One lifetime isn't long enough for what we're meant to do

I want a couple of forevers, just to spend with you

Yes, I found my forever love in you

Every tender word is planted in my mind

A love this deep is beautiful and rare to find

You shield me from the world, you keep me safe and warm

My shelter and my peace inside the quiet storm

Your good heart is the rhythm that I'm leaning on

Pernell, you're the first true love I ever had

The one who lifts me up whenever I am sad

One lifetime isn't long enough for what we're meant to do

I need a couple of forevers, just to spend with you

Yes, I found my forever love in you

My forever love is you
