Good For Me

Where can I find the words to describe

The way that I feel with you by my side?

Everyone can see that you are good for me

I always dreamed some day I'd find you

Now I can put my arms around you

And everyone agrees that you are good for me

Yes, I think I do deserve you

Yes, I think I really earned you

And now it seems every cliche is true

I can be good for you too

I'll tell you a story of love lost and found

There's no-one else for me now you are around

And everyone can see that you are good for me

Cut me adrift in the bluest of skies

I'm so close to heaven, it was such a surprise

Now everyone agrees that you are good for me

Yes, I think I do deserve you

Yes, I think I really earned you

And now it seems every cliche is true

I can be good for you too
