he wrote a letter to her 20 pages long; 20 pages of "i love you". 20 pages of intimacy, word for word of how he cares. each day it grows and it grows.
and he said "i know i said i wouldn't write. what could i say? love conquers everything." for the 1st time in his life that little boy opened his heart as a man.
she wrote a reply to him 20 pages long; 20 pages more. she swore before that she loved him and always will, and now he knows it's real.
it's so sweet to see a love like this. only a few times in a lifetime does it happen. the rights have all lined up, and what you get is this: "i will always love you more and more" repeated in 20 pages.

exit 205. take a left at the light and when you see a Valero take a left and a right. another left. my house is on the right side. our lights are on and i think we are the only ones. so give me a call when you arrive. i can't wait to see you.
well i'll be there as fast as i can. 49 miles isn't anything to me. cause in an hour, or maybe less, you'll be in my arms again. you don't know how much you, you don't know how much you mean to me. it's been a short while. that's long enough for me. i can't wait to see you.

i spent my life always looking down. i spent my life walking with a frown. and since i saw your face, my frown has been replaced. i pick my head up to see
the one i love who loves me the same. the one to take away my pain. the one to pick me up from the ground. yes with you, happiness i've found.
who would've thought i'd end up this way? head over heels in love, the end to lonely days. and in my mind my days were dark and gray. now i welcome the change with
the one i love who loves me the same. the one to take away my pain. the one to pick me up from the ground. yes with you, happiness i've found.

can someone tell me how'd i get so lucky to find someone the way i found you? some call it a twist of fate and some call it destiny. all i know is we're supposed to be.
yeah i'm mr. lucky.
like a needle in a haystack, i found someone who loves me back. who thought you'd be 2 towns away? and everything i've been through, all the bad and all the good; i've paid my dues to make my way to you.
yeah i'm mr. lucky.
i'm 25 and i'm still alive, i've got my girl at my side.
yeah i'm mr. lucky.
i'm so in love and i'm flying high, i'm having the time of my life.
yeah i'm mr. lucky.

waking up next to you, nothing i'd rather do than spend my time and spend my life with you. fools rush in is what they say, but none of them have ever felt this way. our love is pure and overdue.
hand in hand, me and you. there's no one else, just us 2. so kiss my lips. i'll kiss yours too. i love you.
my drive home, my drive to you, a drive that is never fast enough. my stomping grounds or your hometown, my home is wherever i find you.

Those Days

i remember waking up on saturdays, listening to journey on the stereo. my mama sings along cooking breakfast. my brother and i in our underwear.
those were the days that i love the best. those days of my youth that brought me happiness. they put a smile on my face. oh i miss those days.
i remember grandma's house, just us kids. we wanted to start a band called Kindred Majesty. we had a dream that only i followed. but damn we had some fun with the idea.
those were the days that i love the best. those days of my youth that brought me happiness. they put a smile on my face. oh i miss those days.
i remember backyard wrestling at it's best. just a couple of boys having fun. the 3 hour brawl was my favorite. beaten black and blue, yet i won.
those days of old have come and gone, but it's still fun to recollect. new days arrive and i've changed my life. here's to those days that lie ahead.
those were the days that i love the best. those days of my youth that brought me happiness. they put a smile on my face. oh i miss those days.

The Start of Happiness

everyday i see your face it puts a smile on mine. and bad days don't exist anytime you're around. you pick me up every time you look in my eyes. i must admit, these are the best days of my life.
attention world, i'm happy for the very 1st time. i have to pinch myself 'cause i'm not used to this. and i swear somethings weren't meant for me. i was wrong. i'm going to enjoy this.
the end of miserable days. the start of happiness.

those who know me know how miserable i can be. 'cause no one showed me the benefits of being happy. the cliches bore me and seem so goddamn fake. and i'm here to make them stay.
'cause sometimes the tough guys, they fall in love. i'm high on cloud 9. sometimes the tough guys, they fall in love. and i don't ever want to come down.
ask me a year ago where i thought i'd be a year from then and i'll bet i'd tell you i'd be dead; emotionally speaking. but i met a girl who turned my whole world upside down. she set my world on fire and it's still burning.
