We've got nothing but love to prove (Faith Hill):

Isn't it amazing that love should have to be proven? How do you measure it? Well according to the Dark Side, they have their own system of measurement... which of course they won't share, but we have somehow to prove that we have enough love for 4 children and that we will not cause them any undue risk by introducing a sister into the fold. How do you prove that? How do you argue that?

We are it seems a "healthy family". Why oh why would we want to introduce such a risk into our healthy family? Because we have the capacity to love, learn, teach, laugh and grow together... that's why. But that doesn't seem to be enough... just not enough.

I dream of rain
I dream of gardens in the desert sand
I wake in vain
I dream of love as time runs through my hand

I dream of fire
Those dreams that tie two hearts that will never die
And near the flames
The shadows play in the shape of the mans desire

This desert rose
Whose shadow bears the secret promise
This desert flower
No sweet perfume that would torture you more than this

And now she turns
This way she moves in the logic of all my dreams
This fire burns
I realize that nothings as it seems

I dream of rain
I dream of gardens in the desert sand
I wake in vain
I dream of love as time runs through my hand

I dream of rain
I lift my gaze to empty skies above
I close my eyes
The rare perfume is the sweet intoxication of love

I dream of rain
I dream of gardens in the desert sand
I wake in vain
I dream of love as time runs through my hand

Sweet desert rose
Whose shadow bears the secret promise
This desert flower
No sweet perfume that would torture you more than this

Sweet desert rose
This memory of hidden hearts and souls
This desert flower
This rare perfume is the sweet intoxication of love

(Desert Rose, written by Sting)
