Kate Pierson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don′t want to sound half-hearted
I think you already know (know, know)
I couldn't be there when we started
But that was half a day ago (ago, ago)
We could share a half a cheese sandwich or take in half a view
Oh baby!
Let′s take half the day to be together
Let's make half the day last forever
Just takes half the day to make our dreams come true, yeah
When we spend a half a day with you!
Let's take half the day to be together (with you!)
Let′s make half the day last forever (with you!)
Just takes half the day to make our dreams come true, yeah
When we spend a half a day with you!
With you! (Whoo!)
Yeah you! (Hey! Hey!)
With you!
