BABY BLUES

Bust my ass to make this happen

No time to stop and think

I was feeling on the verge

Now I'm feeling on the brink

Things unspoken will be words

Come from truth that hides in eyes

And when finally we are "here and now"

I won't let it pass us by

The love we share is grander than

What the world can take away

For the world takes only things

- And they are easy to replace

But our hearts will stand triumphant

Should it try to knock us down

10 fingers interlocking

As we stroll throughout this town

And when that day comes - now or later

I'll tell every passerby

I won't have to write on chalkboards

I won't have to run and hide

I will scream it from the mountain tops

Like poets long ago

I'll tattoo the date onto my arm

That date you tell me so

For none of them will stop This love

Not one of them could try

I'll protect you

I'll stand by you

I'll give you my whole life

For in my heart that's beating

There's only one thing that I see

And that is your two baby blues

Staring back at me
