You Are My Destiny

You Are My Destiny Don Loyd © 2026 Intro (spoken softly, over a single guitar): "If destiny ever asked me… what was the most beautiful thing life gave me… I would say: your eyes."* Verse 1 As a child I watched the sun fall in the sea, But I never saw anything like the way you look at me. Your lips are two red carnations in bloom, They've got me crazy, chained to your perfume. Your hands are silk, your skin like cinnamon, You kiss me slow, and the whole world turns itself off. I don't need riches, I don't need gold, One sigh from you—my heaven's sold. Chorus You are my owner, my light, my way, Like tequila burning in my chest, Like the moon over a desert night. Oh, my heart… you are my destiny. Let the guitars sing, let the violin cry, Let the whole world know I'm no longer without you. Oh, my life… you are my destiny. Verse 2 You taught me love can't be commanded or bought, That when it arrives, even time gets caught. My hand falls asleep on your hip so slow, Dancing slow like a poet and gypsy, you know. If I get lost in the night, you're my star, If the earth starts to shake, you're my scar that won't fade. There's no border or goodbye strong enough to break, What was written in the soul for goodness sake. Chorus You are my owner, my light, my way, Like tequila burning in my chest, Like the moon over a desert night. Oh, my heart… you are my destiny. Let the guitars sing, let the violin cry, Let the whole world know I'm no longer without you. Oh, my life… you are my destiny. Bridge Don't ask me to stop loving you, 'Cause the air doesn't ask permission to turn into you. And if one day you're gone, I swear by the Virgin's name, The sun goes out, and the sea runs away in shame. Outro Oh, my life… You are my destiny. And until death stares us both in the eye, I'll keep on singing… That your love made me lucky to be alive.
