Miles and Miles
Dee Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I make a smile when I say

I like to live on the edge

I like the view from above

I want to do what I want
And what I want is to see you

From miles and miles

And miles and miles on end

To see you from miles and miles

I like the style that she wears

The way she plays with her hair

The ways she smiles when I say

The way she smiles when we play

The way she says it's ok

It's ok

I like it loud when we play

But she don't keep out no writers

I got the key to her lock

She want something that I got

I never run out of stock

And what I want is to see you

From miles and miles

And miles and miles

On end

I like to live on the edge

I like the view from above

I want to do what I want

To see you from miles and miles

And miles and miles





On end

I have a very unique and cool attachment to this song by Dee. This song was used to promote ABC TV,s Edge Across America on Extreme Make over TV show to introduce the new Ford Edge. Little did I know I was soon to be awarded one of these beautiful cars from Extreme Make over Home Edition! I was in shock when I was informed I was the Award winner for the State of SC for working to help people living with Traumatic Brain Injury in GA, and SC.
