I want to take you to the city and put your name in lights after spending the day seeing all the touristy sights I'll take you to a restaurant We'll have the finest meal music will be playing you'd pick lobster over veal I'd smile across the table watching you decide on cake instead of creme brulee and of course instead of pie there'd be women all around us beauty of all sorts and still my eyes stay on you for no other can compare none has your intense gaze your lovely sea blue eyes no lips can match your lusciousness to me you rise above We'd leave the restaurant I'd see it in your eyes disappointment for you thought it then I'd saved the real surprise We'd travel to a busy street and walking hand in hand I'd stop and kneel before you look into your eyes the lights would flash on behind me The message beaming bright I'd read to you a poem trying to sum up in mere words the reasons why I love you and want you in my life I'd ask you the question If you would be my wife
I'd take you to the city together we'd see the sights we'd have a picnic in a park we'd find a tree casting shade and stare into the sky gazing at the clouds and watch families stroll by our hands clasped tight together we'd speak our dreams aloud the family that'd be ours someday of a life well lived, the love we'd give as night fell on the city, day fades away we'd find a restaurant to eat a meal and talk about our day I'd feel the box in my pocket and wait the moment would be right I'd thought and planned and knew tonight would be our night you ate the cake, instead of pie I watched you with a smile the world around us faded out reaching out to caress your face to feel your so soft skin the words I had prepared seemed so very thin we paid and leave into the night the stars shining high above I take your hand in mine and we slowly walk returning to where our day had begun the lights are out, the park is dark and then we see the glow, an island of light we reach the center, there's a fountain surrounded by a sea of candles the water burbles happily I kneel before you in this man made sea the light it dances on your skin and I know where to begin, with the love that I feel and how your love has helped me heal how I know my life is with you and with a question I stake it all be my love, my wife, my all
