One, Two, I Love You

Kindergarten, five years old

You and me and mother goose

Learning lines to nursery rhymes

That's when I fell in love with you

Back when it was

One, two, buckle my shoe

Three, four, shut the door

Five, six, pick up sticks

Even then my heart was yours

College days miles apart

So afraid you'd forget

Writing letters every day

And ending every one like this

One, two, I miss you

Three, four, I walk the floor

Five, six, come back quick

And I don't want to miss you no more

A little girl, a little boy

Playing on a swing in the yard

And as we watch I hold your hand

And you're still holding onto my heart

And now it's

One, two, I love you

Three, four, let's have one more

Five, six, I wouldn't miss

A day of this for all the treasure on the ocean floor

One, two, I love you

Three, four, let's shut the door

Five, six, kiss after kiss

I can't wait to hold you once more
