Because Of You Poem by BRUCE MARTONE

I LOOK FOR FORTY NIGHTS
AND THIRTY DAYS
ACROSS THE JERSEY BAY
THROUGH THE NEW YORK WAY
I'LL LOOK FOR YOU ALWAYS
THAT'S A PROMISE
I INTEND TO KEEP
EVEN IF I'M RUNNING ON EMPTY
EVEN IF I'M LOSING SLEEP
I'LL KEEP LOOKING FOR YOU
NO MATTER WHAT IT TAKES
OR HOW MANY DEALS I HAVE TO MAKE
OR HOW MANY HAND SHAKES
HAND SHAKES IT TAKES
TAKE TO HELP FIND YOU
BECAUSE YOUR A DREAM COME TRUE
A PREFECT CHRISTMAS GIFT
MY FINAL WISH ON THAT STAR
WHICH NOW HAS COME TRUE
GIVING ME THAT LIFT
THAT LIFT I NEEDED
TO CONTINUE TO FIND YOU
AND I WILL TILL THE END OF TIME
EVEN THROUGH THE BEATING HOT SUN SHINE
EVEN THROUGH THE BITTER COLD
EVEN THROUGH THE POURING RAIN
EVEN THROUGH A SNOW STORM
I'LL STILL REMAIN
REMAIN HERE UNTIL I FIND YOU
SO BRING ON THE HUNDREDS NIGHT'S
BRING ON THE HUNDREDS DAYS
I STILL LOOK FOR YOU ALWAYS
NO MATTER HOW MUCH IT TAKES
BECAUSE I LOVE YOU
BECAUSE I NEED YOU
BECAUSE I WANT YOU
BUT MOST OF ALL
FOR YOU JUST BEING YOU
AND WHEN I FIND YOU
YOUR SAY THE SAME THING TO
THE SAME THING TO ME
