She's Everything
Disclaimer: I don't own L&O: SVU, you know damn well if I did that Elliot and Olivia would be more than just friends! I don't own the song either it belongs to Brad Paisley. Beware this is fluffy.
She's a yellow pair of running shoes
A holey pair of jeans
She looks great in cheap sunglasses
She lookes great in anything
She's I want a piece of chocolate
Take me to a movie
She's I can't find a thing to wear
Now and then she's moody
I look down at the pile of junk by the door, a pair of cheap sunglasses, shoes, keys and a hand bag that I am sure contains at least one candy bar and probably five tubes of lip junk. I smile and call out, "Livia, I'm home."
My very pregnat wife come out of the kitchen to greet me with a smudge of flour on her cheek.
"Hi. How was your day?" she asks, kissing me on the lips.
She's a saturn with a sunroof
With her brown hair a- blowing
She's a soft place to land
And a good feeling knowing
She's a warm conversation
That I wouldn't miss for nothing
She's a fighter when she mad
And she's a lover when she loving
I kick off my shoes and watch as Olivia goes back to puttering in the kitchen. I flop down on the couch and think about how much my life has changed in the past year and a half. I had loved Olivia Benson from afar for so long that there were times I almost needed to pinch myself to make sure that I wasn't dreaming all this. That I wouldn't wake up and find out that Liv wasn't there, wasn't having my child. I love watching her as we drive with the windows down and her long brown hair blows in her face or the warm conversations she has with my daughters about their boy problems. I know that I would even miss her temper when she gets mad, because really she was kind of cute the way her eyes blaze and she pulls her self up to her full height.
And she's everything I ever wanted
And everything I need
I talk about her, I go on and on and on
Cause she everything to me
She's everything to me. I don't know where I would be without her. I had thought that I had it all when I was married to Kathy but since our divorace and my marriage to Olivia I have found that I was missing out on so much. The feeling of coming home to someone that knows you inside and out is amazing. I have since marrying Olivia come to realize that when I married Kathy I hadn't been in love, I had been in lust.
She's a Saturday out on the town
And a church girl on Sunday
She's a cross around her neck
And a cuss word cause it's Monday
She's a bubble bath with candles
Baby come and kiss me
She's a one glass of wine
And she's feeling kinda tipsy
Before Olivia got pregnant we often spent our Saturday evenings out on the town with our good friends and coworkers, John and Casey Much. When they got together we had all been really suprised and now Olivia and Casey were sharing the joys of pregnancy together only John and Casey were having a girl and Liv and I are having a boy. When we went out I usually forbade Olivia from drinking becasue experience had taught me right away that she couldn't hold her liquour.
She's the giver I wish I could be
And the stealer of the covers
She's a picture in my wallet
Of my unborn children's mother
She's the hand that I'm holding
When I'm on my knees and praying
She's the answer to my prayer
And she's the song that I'm playing
Olivia gives 110 of herself to everyone and everything she does and there are times that I am envious of her ability to do so. I wish that I could give that much of myself everyday and still be able to come home and be a good husband and father. Another thing that most do not know about Olivia is her uncanny ability to wrap herself up in our down comforter. It seems everynight I end up with nothing but the sheet and a thin blanket and Olivia is wrapped like a burrito baby in our comforter, but hey she the mother of my unborn son so I won't give her to much greif about being a blanket hog.
And she's everything I ever wanted
And everything I need
I talk about her, I go on and on and on
Cause she everything to me
She's the voice I love to hear
Someday when I'm ninety
She's that wodden rocking chair
I want rocking right beside me
Everyday that passes
I only love her more
Yeah she's the one
That I'd lay my own life down for
Olivia comes back in from the kitchen and close to my ear says, "Honey, supper is ready."
I love that voice, the sound of it and how is slides over your ear like silk. For as long as I've known Olivia I have been able to picture myself with her in old age, setting in rocking chairs, prattling our grandkids on our knees. I've thought about it alot and I realized that I had never had that vision with Kathy. I also know that I would willing lay down my life for Olivia. I had proved that they day that Gitano had held a gun to my head and I had told Olivia to go and let him kill me. Of course she hadn't and for that I am going to be eternally grateful. If she had we wouldn't be here and we wouldn't be waiting the arrival of our son.
And she's everything I ever wanted
And everything I need
She's everything to me
Yeah she's everything to me
Everything I ever wanted
