You take me by the hand\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

and lead me to the moon<\/span><\/p>\n

There we ride low to high and loop de loop<\/span><\/p>\n

Through the crowds, you\u2019re by my side<\/span><\/p>\n

I never have to worry<\/span><\/p>\n

We take our time,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

there is no rush<\/span><\/p>\n

We let the others hurry.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Back down on earth, we hear the notes<\/span><\/p>\n

from The Palais and the Espy<\/span><\/p>\n

We feel the beats move through us,<\/span><\/p>\n

as your arms, they circle \u2018round me<\/span><\/p>\n

They sing of love, they sing of fear,<\/span><\/p>\n

they sing everything we\u2019re feeling<\/span><\/p>\n

Your eyes meet mine, I know what you mean,<\/span><\/p>\n

it\u2019s no chance that we had that first meeting.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Down at Claypots we switch to jazz<\/span><\/p>\n

your smile has me entranced<\/span><\/p>\n

We feed each other succulent mouthfuls<\/span><\/p>\n

you laugh at my sensuous sounds<\/span><\/p>\n

As I enjoy the flavors, you wonder aloud<\/span><\/p>\n

if you could get me to repeat them elsewhere?<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

So on to Beach Road and the dream house you built<\/span><\/p>\n

with the hidden library built just for me<\/span><\/p>\n

The answer is yes, it has always been yes<\/span><\/p>\n

Since the day that we happened to meet.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
