'God Only Knows'
'What I'd be without you'*
It is lightning in a bottle,
A rainbow in a jar,
The promise of a life,
As Venus and Mars,
Going out for rides
Like two shooting stars
It is a warm embrace with your soft skin,
When I lie awake in the early dawn,
The beating of a heart from deep within,
A voluptuous body where a new life is born
Coming home from work
With arms open wide,
A serendipitous kiss with a telling smile,
And a loving whisper "Let's go for a ride."
Up into the hills,
Sat on a rock,
Watching the sun slowly go down,
As the stars run amok
Whilst we are out on the town.
Holding hands
To the sounds of the night
In faraway lands
Watching the owls
Flap wings and take flight,
The tipp'd cup of the moon
Spills Champagne on ice.
On the slow drive home
Listening to the Beach Boys,
Singing ' God Only Knows
What I'd be without you.'*
