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.
