All About You
"Our talks are priceless when the meaning behind the conversation goes a long way

It's actually an exciting thing I should say
Because every word ends in laughter all day

Oh, but that's not all; our hopes and dreams are just as grand
That one day we make it to the other land
Baby take my hand!
Oops! So sorry! 
In the moment, you understand?

Where I was going with this conversation
though I tremble in desperation
Looking for words to say my declaration 
Without causing aggravation 

Oh dear, help me describe what I'm feeling
Because my heart is beating
Maybe I should send a letter
But that would simply be cheating
