Because You Loved Me
"Danny, can you at least tell me what this is about?" Sam smiled as Danny pulled down stairs were there were instruments that had been collected by Sam's parents.
"You'll see." Danny answered he sat at the grand piano with the Goth right beside him, "I want you to hear this, Sam." The Halfa's fingers began to stroke the keys softly.
He began to sing, "For all those times you stood by me
For all the truth that you made me see
For all the joy you brought to my life
For all the wrong that you made right
For every dream you made come true
For all the love I found in you
I'll be forever thankful baby
You're the one who held me up
Never let me fall
You're the one who saw me through; through it all" Sam's heart lifted.
Danny continued with smile on his face, Sam continued to listen, "You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith 'coz you believed
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me." A single tear slid down Sam's cheek and into her open hand on her lap.
"You gave me wings and made me fly
You touched my hand I could touch the sky
I lost my faith, you gave it back to me
You said no star was out of reach
You stood by me and I stood tall
I had your love I had it all
I'm grateful for each day you gave me
Maybe I don't know that much
But I know this much is true
I was blessed because I was loved by you." Danny warm aura surrounded Sam, she sighed with content.
"You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith 'coz you believed
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me" Sam closed her and let the melody sear her to the core, where she would remember the tone forever.
"You were always there for me
The tender wind that carried me
A light in the dark shining your love into my life
You've been my inspiration
Through the lies you were the truth
My world is a better place because of you" The tears began to flow harder as fingers continued to play.
"You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith 'coz you believed
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me." Danny smiled; he wrote this song for Sam and Sam alone.
"I'm everything I am
Because you loved me" Fingers stopped playing.
She sighed as she remembered when she first heard that song flow from him. She looked at the wedding picture on top of the piano; she smiled even though her heart was ripping inside her. She fell on the piano, her arms crossed on the keys, her face buried into her arms, "Because you loved me Danny and because you gave your life to protect me."
