Oh i, never thought I'd feel this way
And as far as I'm concerned
I'm glad I've got a chance to to say

Well than close your eyes
And try to feel the way we do today
And then if you can't remember

You know what girl.

Well, you came and open up me.
And now there's so much more I see.
And so by the way I thank you.

Oh and then, for time we're apart.
We're closer as we know.
