The Only Exception...

Would We?

This little coffee shop,
Sitting at a table for two
Steady beat as I sing along
To Elvis on the jukebox
Can't Help Falling in Love,
The way this king of rock
Sings of love, so soft.

But there's miles between the king of hearts
And the queen of his,
The way we've been from the start
Absent and torn apart
Would we say what we need to say?
Silent in each other's presence,
Yet too loud in the distance.

But if I say those words today,
Darling would we be?

Would we be running red lights,
Together, never be missed,
When we feel loved and alive?

Would we be driving fast singing loud
With our hands out the window
When the beat drops the perfect sound?

Darling, would we?

You and I, we dance around.
Fancy footwork around the truth.
But the feelings getting stronger now.
The world is finding out
Just how crazy two can be
For the love of the other
To be labeled as two partners

So if I take your hand today,
Oh, darling, would we be?

Would we be wrapped up tight
Placing a kiss on your lips
When the moons high in the sky

Would we slow dancing in the dark
My head 'gainst your chest
When all I hear is your heart,

Darlin would we?

Because you know,
That the way I feel about you,
Is more than a temporary phase

And I don't
Need you to tell the future,
Just answer me please!

My love, would you?

Would you whisper I love you,
And hold me in your arms,
When I'm broken and confused,

Would you be here to stay
And would you promise me forever
Till the end of all you days

Oh, Darling, would you?
