Lyrics
Just To See You
I'd rollerskate gladly across Death Valley
I'd ride a clapped out, one wheeled Raleigh
I'd jet ski through shark infested seas moreover
I'd swim from Calais right to Dover
Just to see you
Just to see you
Just to see you
I'd walk a tightrope across Niagara
I'd vow forever to give up Viagra
To fly economy I'd be happy to do
I'd volunteer to join the Titanic crew
Just to see you
Just to see you
Just to see you
Chorus
Seeing you is all that 's vital
I'd pilot a homemade kite until
It fell apart
Not to see you doesn't bear thinking
I'd drive a beat up old Lincoln with the oil light blinking
Or a cart
Verse
The mode of transportation is not what would matter
I'd hire an old Chevvy with the remoulds in tatters
The Kon Tiki raft would be my sailboat of choice
If at the end of the journey I could hear your voice
Just to see you
Just to see you
Just to see you
Chorus
Seeing you is all that's vital
I'd pilot a homemade kite until
It fell apart
Not to see you again doesn't bear thinking
I'd drive a beat up old Lincoln with the oil light blinking
Or a cart
Verse
Riding up Mt. Everest on a unicycle
Flying a World War 2 Heinkel
Surfing the wave of a global Tsunami
Freefalling with chutes made out of macramé
Just to see you
Just to see you
Just to see you
Just to see you
Just to see you
Just to see you
Just to see you
Just to see you
Just to see you
