All the people
Blissfully kissing
But I keep cool
And keep listening
For a swift miss
Wishfully whistling
By a fountain
I caught her sitting
She's well rounded
But, oh, so skinny
Reading a book
Our eyes had not met
Before she took
Out a cigarette
Can I be your light, little lady?
Do you mind if I call you baby?
Be what you may
But don't say
Maybe
(don't say maybe)
Just take my hand
Sing a song with me
One and two and
Three, four, it's easy
(1, 2, 3, 4)
Together we can create
A life so good, it's great
Pack your bags, don't hesitate
Don't make we wait
Think of all the memories we can make
With time as short as the breaths we take
Dream girl, never make me wake
(never make me wake)
Sleep on, young man
Yes, I will take your hand
Come with me and I'll show you doors
Where love liquidates and pours
Over us as if it were rain
You and I are truly one in the same
Let me take you somewhere new
You didn't know you already knew
If you wake, where do I fly to?
If you were to die, I die too
Hell, who am I? Without you.
