i think about you all the time
can't spare a thought to find a rhyme
and every night i dream of you
there's nothing that i'd rather do
what is it makes me feel this way
it must be the sweet things that you say
opened up my eyes to see
now all those sappy love songs
they make sense to me
i think about you all the time
you're cool you're smart you're sweet you're mine
and every day i pray for you
there's nothing that i'd rather do
