Smallie - The Earnest Bear

I want to reach out
And feel out your fingers
Show you this love is
The kind that lingers.
I want keep you
Warm and safe,
In a perilous world,
Create a happy place.
I want to show you
Whenever you're sad,
Whenever you're down,
That things won't be so bad.
I want to hold you
And keep at bay
All these worrisome fears
So I could just say,
Through all of these words,
Connecting the dots:
I hope you like me
'Cause I love you lots.

I Knew

From the time we met
And you turned my head,
And showed me
Something new
From the very first talk
When the hours went by
And your soul filled my eyes,
I knew...

From that first dance
That lasted barely a minute,
When we'd have done anything
Just to prolong it,
From the feel of your arms
And that tinkling soft giggle
And those bright shining eyes,
I knew...

From that first walk
Down the boardwalk
At bandstand,
When you tried to pretend
That that was all it was,
But let me hold your hand,
I knew...

From that first kiss
That made only our world exist
In every way that mattered,
I knew...

That you would be my friend,
My love
Always.
