Why don’t you come to me?
Come and stay, by my side.
Stay and smile, at my side.
Smile and brighten, up my day.
Come to me and, stay you may.
Wishing on those moments.
Wondering about them, and smiling
A total fool of myself, in making
I succeed almost every day.
Now look, laughing aren’t they?
If we’re to meet, *and we do.
Yes we meet, you look into
my eyes and I into yours,
seconds turn to minutes
and minutes in to hours.
Time was ticking,
People were walking,
We weren’t dreaming,
So were contemplating,
And, thus, concluding:
*We were, supposed to be one, from the start.
You and me, now, *till death do us part.
