Back At One

It's undeniable that we should be together
It's unbelievable how I used to say that I'd fall never
The basis is need to know
If you just don't know how I feel
Then let me show you that now I'm for real
If all the things in time, time will reveal

My heart jumped for joy when I heard her say the words I'd been dying to hear her say; she wants to try again. I had no doubt in my mind that we belong together. I can't believe that just a few years ago I swore that I was never going to fall in love. Now this wonderful woman has captured my heart and I swear I will never let her go again.

It's so incredible the way things work themselves out
And all emotional once you know what it's all about
And undesirable for us to be apart
I never would've made it very far
'Cause you know you got the keys to my heart

It's so funny how things worked out for Baylee and I. I never would have thought that we'd be starting over again, but here we are. I don't plan on letting her go anytime soon either. I am who I am because of her.

Say farewell to the dark of night
I see the coming of the sun
I feel like a little child whose life has just begun
You came and breathed new life into this lonely heart of mine
You threw out the life line
Just in the nick of time

No more lonely nights for us. I'm just so happy. I feel like a little boy going out with his crush. Just when I thought I would drown in sorrow Baylee rescued me. I still can't believe it.

One, you're like a dream come true
Two, just wanna be with you
Three, girl it's plain to see
That you're the only one for me and
Four, repeat steps one through three
Five, make you fall in love with me
If ever I believe my work is done
Then I'll start back at one

"You look beautiful," I say as I pick her up for our date. "You definitely look like my princess." She smiles and blushes slightly as she gets in the passenger seat.

"I just want to be with you tonight. No one else. Just you," I whisper in her ear as I escort her into the restaurant.

"Shannon this is just too wonderful for words," she says once we had been seated.

"Nothing's too good for my princess," I reply and kiss her fingertips.

"Shannon," she says sleepily as we sit in my car after dinner. She was in my arms, where she belongs forever. "What will we do if something happens again?"

"Start over again," I reply and kiss her temple.
