A Locke of Your Hair
Background
This is the first song I wrote for my wife when we were dating. To anyone who thinks the song is beautiful, you should meet my wife. I’m not just talking physical beauty here (She has that, too), but she’s funny, brilliant, compassionate, and more. I found the whole package.

Lyrics
Verse:
I’ve been lyin’ awake
With my hands on the phone
Needing to share with you to make sure you know
That I love you. Yes, I love you, Tracy.
That, in every song, I hear a locke of your hair,
And wherever your heart beats, yes, my heart’s locked me there,
‘cause I love you. Yes, I love you.
Chorus:
I wanna hold your every feelin’
As I sing with you each night,
To caress your dreams with my kisses
From the dusk to the daylight.
I wanna be there when your eyes shine
And when you’ve shut them tight
Because I love you.
Tracy, I love you.
Verse:
I’ve been walkin’ around
With my head in the clouds
Wanting to tell the world,
To shout it out loud,
That I love you.
Yes, I love you, Tracy.
You’ve got me singin’ a song,
Tappin’ my feet.
If I’ve already told you, babe,
Then let me repeat that I love you.
Yes, I love you.
Chorus:
You’ve got me feelin’ these emotions
That I’ve never felt before,
And each and every time that I hold you
I only wanna hold you some more.
I’d offer you the key to my heart if you’d not removed the door,
Because I love you.
Tracy, I love you.
Verse:
I wanna walk by your side
Holding your hand
Telling you always so that you’ll understand that I love you.
Yes, I love you, Tracy.
I wanna feast on your smile
Melt in your eyes
Hold you so closely, because I’ve realized
That I love you. Yes, I love you.
Chorus:
I wanna share these happy feelin’s,
To hold you when we cry,
To feel you breathin’ beside me,
To listen to you sigh.
I’m gonna be here always,
And if you’re wondering why,
It’s ‘cause I love you.
I’m gonna hold you forever,
Until the day I die,
Because I love you.
