Where we are
Where we are
Where we are
Where we are
Where we are
Where we are
Where we are
Where we are
Where we are
Where we are
Where we are
Where we are
Where we are
Where we are
I wrote you a poem three years ago
About how you brought me to life one night
Head to toe, I know
It's ancient history
But I'll never forget that we
Had so much chemistry
Something about your smile
And the crescent of your eyes
Something about your style
And your kiss that brought me to life
That's what it was...
Your kiss, it brought me to life
It brought me to
It brought you to, it brought us to
Where we are
Where we are
Where we are
Where we are
Where we are
Where we are
Where we are
Where we are
Where we are




Where we are
Where we are
