To Joseph Ndendyaa

[Intro] Soft piano, a heartbeat in the air I write your name and breathe you in there [Verse 1] I love you, Joseph Ndendyaa, you brighten my day I’m Daines, speaking softly as I say Your name is a chorus I carry in my chest With you, my constant compass, I feel blessed [Chorus] Love you like the dawn loves the sky Joseph Ndendyaa, I’m here and I’m alive Say it aloud, let the whole world see This heart is yours, and I’m choosing you and me [Verse 2] I write your name in letters clear and true I am Daines, and I’m sticking like glue If you doubt, listen to the rhythm of my plea I love you, Joseph, forever you and me [Bridge] In every breath, I whisper your first and last The days we build are meant to last Cross my heart, across any weather Together is how we’ll weather forever [Chorus] Love you like the dawn loves the sky Joseph Ndendyaa, I’m here and I’m alive Say it aloud, let the whole world see This heart is yours, and I’m choosing you and me [Outro] Until the last light fades, I’ll love you still Joseph Ndendyaa, you’re part of my will
