Love story
Our story
All of it ours
Together whether
It’s rain or shine

An easy subject
When it comes to us
It’s just us
Just us
Only us, always us

So we go each day
Rolling together
Rocking forever
The way it should be

Misty
I get misty
It’s the you
That gets me
It’s the me
That loves you

I dreamed of us
I dreamed of these days
These days are perfect
And so are we
With rocking porch ease we’re
Creating rocking chair memories
These are the good old days
It’s a love story
Our story
Come rain or shine

Yes
Yes, 1 million times yes
Yes and maybe some more
How many times can I say I love you?
I cannot keep score
I’m a veteran of romance
Been down too many roads
Dead ends and wrong turns
And lonely weekends
Lovers but no love
Affection with some
Until you came along
Over with and done
So Senorita, come this way please
I’m pledging my love
I am weak in the knees
You’re coming with me
Wherever I go
It’s gonna be good
Trust me, I know

Why didn’t I say what was in my heart?
I pined for her each day we were at work
We had lunches, danced, we were good friends
But I never told her how I felt
This is how it ends

She left this morning for a job in a new town
We had a goodbye hug
But I didn’t tell her how I felt
So where am I now?
In love with someone who doesn’t know
I want her so bad
Why did she have to go?

Maybe it’s not too late
I should make a trip
Arrive unannounced
I cannot quit
If she is my destiny
I think she should know

I just gotta know you, baby
You will like me
Here are 15 reasons
First, I live and breathe for you
Next, I'm fun to date
If you like to laugh,
Just hang with me
I got a real job, I'm an MD, I'll bring that bacon home
And yes I saw you win on Jeopardy
Go ahead and quiz me
I can cook a meal so tasty
You'll demand them regularly
Oh, and I can kiss real good,
Go ahead, try me
I'm very considerate, dress elegantly
Of course, am trustworthy
Have my pilot's license
Am toned, touch my arm, now squeeze
People say I'm handsome
I'm kind to the elderly
But most of all I love you
That I already know
Give me a chance, my dear
Give me the say so

This is a city with secrets
Surely it knows I'm in love
With one if it's residents
Who is playing hard to get
I can't get enough of her
I want her yes I do
It's just a matter of time
And time can be so cruel

I wander its cobblestones
Thinking what to do
Step by step I plan my moves
I try to play it cool
But this city knows I'm in love
And that I'm no fool
For she's the one
The only one
As I wander through
Its nooks and crannies
Under a jaunty sky of blue

I know I'd be good for her
She's perfection to me
We could live so happily
In this city of secrets
I have got to win her
I know she'll understand
She is my future
I am her man

It’s emotion, my business
I sing songs
Mostly about love
My job is to move the audience
To smiles or a tear
Make people snuggle up
Hold hands, disappear
Into a state of kindness and grace
I try to bring joy to each happy face

What about me?
Well, I’m just like you
I’m a fan of many
Those who croon
Who give life meaning
Who nurture the soul
When I need to dig deep
It’s where I go

So when I hear a special song
I smile and sigh, and find in my eyes
Condensation, a misty memory
That takes me back and aback
At the feeling that comes over me
When music entertains the heart
And yet again, emotion conquers me

I want to be somebody’s somebody
Who will give me a chance?
Somebody must want to be my baby
I believe in romance

Where is my darling?
What must I do?
I’m ready for anything
Just get me to who is the one for me
Fast, if you please

I want to be somebody’s somebody
I want to be in her arms
I just need to find her
With luck I’ll find her charms

Somebody, someday will come to me
Someday my someone will also believe
In stars that align, in dreams that come true
I know she’s out there and believes in us too
