Be My Girl

In the arms of gentle beauty
In the throes of auburn hair
I could babble on for hours
And sleep right through your stare
On that corner off of Tharpe Street
Where I used to run and hide
I had visions in our passion
That compel me to decide

To love you forever
To call you my own
To make you my lover
To make you my home
To build our own family
To take on the world
You'd make me so happy
If you would be my girl

There's a path in Cinque Terra
Lovers carve their hearts in stone
Where I gazed out over heaven
And thought of you alone
When the sun fell through the water
I stood and wrung my hands
Crying "Lord show me compassion
And let me be the man"

I'm crazy about you, baby

I keep dreaming of our future
I keep whispering your name
I know my precious treasures
You hold all of them
I've been counting every heartbeat
I've been burning in my skin
Every second is a lifetime
So, baby take my hand
