I love you.
I love you too baby…
I’ve loved you since that very first hour I met you
That hour of angels
Those inspirational, popular angels.

I see you.
I see you too baby…
I’ve seen you since you first looked my way
That look of silent mystery
Those mirrored eyes of mystery.

I admire you.
I admire you too baby…
I’ve admired you since we first danced with that curious ghost
That dance of danger
Those famous dangerous dances.

I hear you.
I hear you too baby…
I’ve heard you since you first announced yourself with that bona fide gong
That gong of dreams
Those dreams that dream pretty.

I think pretty has gotten me pretty far.
That’s pretty far out baby…
So, just for funsies, how about I teach you to talk
And then, you and I can meet for the first time again
To begin a real conversation.
