Lyrics
It's long past due.
But, finally got my nerve
To let it all come out for what it's worth.
Been waiting to
Say what I need to say
I hope it puts a smile upon your face.
I ask could we
Spend the rest of our lives
Together, me as husband, you as wife.
I'm on my knees
I'll know what you will say
By the feelings are written upon your face.
And on your face, I see glowing
Glistening stars in your eyes.
On your face, I see showing
That you're suddenly feeling alive.
I'd hoped that you
Had fallen so in love
That all your worldly stresses had been hushed.
And now the truth
That I hoped for and prayed
Is the very thing I see upon your face.
And on your face, I see glowing
Glistening stars in your eyes.
On your face, I see showing
That you're suddenly feeling alive.
And it's making me feel so alive.
