Can I keep you in my pocket,
And bring you around everywhere I go?
I have a wonderful little idea for you and me,
Do you want to know?
We meet eyes across a dark world,
And we cause an explosion of light.
Our bodies shiver, that warming, joyful kind,
And the feeling rushes from our hearts, just like a plight.
Our hands fit together perfectly,
And we kiss like Eskimos in their igloos.
We can build up a small house on a hilltop,
With a glass ceiling, if you choose?
I know how much you love the night sky,
And you know I love it too.
I would lay there with you always,
As the skies turn from blue to black, and black to blue.
On our hilltop, we'd be surrounded by green grass,
And flowers would grow between each blade.
There would be a tall tree overhanging our small house,
And, on hot days, we would sit under it for some shade.
I'd make you laugh just to see that amazing smile,
And your eyes would twinkle brighter than the moon.
You'd pull me closer and let me stand on your toes,
As we both danced to our favourite tune.
You'd whisper words no one has ever told me,
Three words that mean so much more.
And you'd wonder as we get lost in each other's eyes,
If our hearts had once known each other before..
If I keep you in my pocket,
My dreams may one day come true.
You'll meet my eyes across the dark world
And then I can live happily, in the light, with you.
