SOMEONE FINE
by Sarah Cranston (based on Somethin' Fine by Jackson Browne)

I toss and turn and the sheets end up in a pile on the floor,
I shiver and you pick them up and cover me once more.
I feel so weak and tired, but I can't get to sleep.
You give me space when I get mad, and hold me when I weep.

The cancer and the drugs have taken their share of me,
Even though you take such good care of me.

Now you say "I love you," and that makes me smile,
You lift my spirits with these words, every little while.
And through the pain and nausea, your love fills my mind,
I'm' so lucky to be loved by someone fine.

The future holds uncertainty, full of hope and fear,
Will our marriage see a decade? Will I be here next year?
When I'm sick and shaking, afraid I won't survive,
You have strength for two, you keep us both alive.

I know, it's hard, sometimes, for you to bear with me,
Through all the angry words and tears you're still there for me.
When you say "I love you," it makes me smile,
You've been telling me you love me for quite a while.
When you look into my eyes, I see your love shine,
Such a blessing to be loved by someone fine.
Someone fine...

So when I fight for every inch, as though it were a mile,
Please be strong for both of us, I'll be laughing in a while,
We'll laugh together and share a toast, will you pour the wine?
And we'll raise a glass for love of someone fine.
