Honey, sweet

I've got something to say to you in privacy

Something I'd like for you to hear

And only your ears alone

Secretly

I've been admiring you intensely

So much so I'd like to settle down with you

And make a home

You are my first breath

My first smile

And my morning cup of tea

Yours is the love

That I pray for

Before I go to sleep

From the time I saw your face

I knew no other could erase

My loving you with each beat of my heart

Until the day I heard your speak

I didn't know that sound was sweet

Me hearing you with each beat of my heart

There's a time when playing ends

And the serious begins

Like the love that I felt from the start

With each beat of my heart

Honey, sweet

I soared into a heaven's galaxy

So hypnotized was I

From seeing all the magic in your eyesSo I bring

To you what's been a lifetime fantasy

O f being with the only one who can

Create my paradise

You are my first breath

My first smile

And my morning cup of tea

Yours is the love

That I pray for

Before I go to sleep

From the time I saw your face

I knew no other could erase

My loving you with each beat of my heart

Until the day I heard your speak

I didn't know that sound was sweet

Me hearing you with each beat of my heart

There's a time when playing ends

And the serious begins

Like the love that I felt from the start

With each beat of my heart

There's a time when playing ends

And the serious begins

Like the love that I felt from the start

With each beat of my heart
