When I look at you I see

All the world in front of me.

Our future rings as bright as gold

As vivid as potato mold.

 

You bring together moon and star;

You join caboose with sleeping car

My mood these days is blue and silver

With happiness no one can pilfer.

 

I love when we go out to dance

(although we need a cash advance)

And oh, how much I feel our passion!

(but then, you’re debonair and dashin’)

 

I’m so devoted to you, dear

Please don’t think me insincere 

I’d guard your room both day and night

I’d even battle spinach blight.

 

If we had to say goodbye

I’d never buy more Spanish fly.

I’d just live out my days alone

Losing all my muscle tone.

 

So let me take your hand to kiss

So later we can reminisce.

For if I failed to forge ahead,

I’d really be a pudding head.
