When You Call Me That

When you call me D
my heart skips a beat
For you are the only one
With a nickname just for me

It has been many years
Since I heard it roll off your tongue
For the last time you called me that
We were both very young

When you call me by that name
It makes me drift back in time
And I remember all those nights
And the days when you were mine

Thoughts of you, since faded
Come rushing back to me
I get caught up in the moment
Wrapped up so snug, with your memory

A blanket of what used to be
Warms me from within
A old flame that still burns me
You are my destiny - and my best friend

My past and my future
You are the fate that I cannot ignore
You are such an admirable person
And a man that I truly adore

I need you by my side
To make my dreams come true
For life will never be the same
Without the only love I ever knew

I don't want lots of money
Or a big house, or lots of fame
All I want is a life with you
And to someday take your name

If I achieve that
Then all my dreams came true
There is nothing more that matters
Then spending the rest of my life with you
