Pulling tugging on the soul

Bring together as a whole

Questions, doubts arise so near

Hope of happiness, a little fear

Feelings arise, kisses I feel

Is it my wish or is it my will

I don’t care what others say

I want to have today my way

Because I may not have a chance

To sing, to laugh and have this dance

I will treasure for this one day

Of loving you in the only way

And if for some reason unknown to me

I will have my memories of thee

So touch my branches shake my leaves

Let it shout, bounce through the trees

Let love explode down through the spine

For this one day you will be mine.
