I know what it means to be alone, I sure do wish I was at home.I don't care what the neighbors say, I'm gonna love you each and every day.

Catch the wind, see us spin, sail away, leave today, way up high in the sky.But the wind won't blow, you really shouldn't go, it only goes to showThat you will be mine, by takin' our time.

And if you say to me tomorrow, oh what fun it all would be.Then what's to stop us, pretty baby. But What Is And What Should Never Be.

If the sun refused to shine, I would still be loving you.When mountains crumble to the sea, there would still be you and me.
