i want somebody that i can hold
and somebody that i can cherish
i want somebody who will love me
until the very day that i perish
until my last breath
until our last kiss
i want to make memories
for somebody to miss

i will look up
at the moon
and whisper
hello, beautiful
with even the
slightest bit of hope
that you
are looking up too

just as if
she were the sun
she would burn you
would you get close
enough to her
and just as if
she were the sun
you would keep
staring at her
no matter how much
your eyes
begin
to sting

in our good nights and
goodbyes and our
hellos and good mornings 
i can hear i love you and
i hope you can too

at half time your words seep into my bloodstream as if they were a drug
lazy smiles, half shut eyelids and fluid movements result
now if my heart was a dancer it'd be the greatest

at double time you've upped the dosage of your affection
i'm elated, clumsy and just a tad bit smitten
now if my heart was a dancer it would be alright

at triple time your love and your attention are addictive, fatal
my knees are weak and my chest is clenched
now if my heart was a dancer it would be retired
