Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
We could leave the Christmas lights up 'til January This is our place, we make the rules And there's a dazzling haze, a mysterious way about you, dear Have I known you twenty seconds or twenty years? Can I go where you go? Can we always be this close forever and ever? And ah, take me out, and take me home You're my, my, my, my lover We could light a bunch of candles and dance around the kitchen, baby Pictures of when we were young would hang on the wall We would sit on the stoop, I'll sing love songs to you when we're eighty See I finally got you now, honey, I won't let you fall Can I go where you go? Can we always be this close forever and ever? And ah, take me out, and take me home (forever and ever) You're my, my, my, my lover Ladies and gentlemen, will you please stand? With every guitar string scar on my hand I take this magnetic force of a man to be my lover Look in my eyes, they will tell you the truth The girl in my story has always been you I'd go down with the Titanic, it's true , for you, lover And you'll save all your dirtiest jokes for me And at every table, I'll save you a seat, lover (save you a seat) Can I go where you go? (Can I go where you go, baby?) Can we always be this close forever and ever? And ah, take me out, and take me home (forever and ever) You're my, my, my, my Oh, you're my, my, my, my Darling, you're my, my, my, my Lover
