Prelude To Love
Living a life on the edge like we do,
It’s no wonder I fell in with you.
I’ve a confession to make,
Without you, oh, my state of mind,
Well, I’d had such a time.
Living without her, it’s not living at all.
Being with her, it’s a prelude to love.
Sitting here thinking like a bear in the zoo,
While the people keep staring they do.
Relaxing on Friday, my hand on her thigh,
Oh so soft and so warm my heart thunders.
She turns and she laughs as I say something sly,
Something so strange, a prelude to love.
A prelude to love...
Sweet friend who raised me up high off the ground,
She’s the closest to Heaven I’ve found.
I’ve loved her in glasses and gym shorts and none,
And I’ve had her for breakfast then some.
I’ve watched her take classes, her mind fit to burst,
Still she makes time, a prelude to love.
A prelude to love...
I’ve confessions to make,
Without you oh my state of mind,
Well I’ve had such a time.
But living without her is not living at all.
Living with her is a prelude to love.
