lyrics

I am the rhythm and you are the reason.
I am the snow and you are the season.
You're my "up" when I'm feeling down.
I'm a little square and you're a little round.

You're a little wink and I start to smile.
You're a little drink and I'm cool for a while.
Heart's on fire and you are the flame.
You're a little wild and I'm a little tame.

Oh, heavenly days and bless my soul.
You're my rock when I start to roll.
When darkness falls upon the sun,
You'll still be my only one.

I am the sand and you are the sea.
It's paradise when you're next to me.
You are the leaves and I am the tree.
You are the love that sets me free.

You are the hand and I am the glove.
I am the faith and you are the love.
You are the space and I am the time.
I am the bread and you are the wine.

Oh, heavens to Betsy, for the love of Mike.
I am the wheels and you are the bike.
You are the marrow and I am the bone.
Together we'll never have to be alone.

One fine day, when you're in my arms, we'll fly away.
One fine day, on some organic farm, we'll fly away.

We'll call up the preacher and tie the knot.
And drive my truck to a secluded spot.
And roast our weenies out under the stars.
Beneath the moon, you'll show me Mars.

You are the sun and I am the moon.
You are the words and I am the tune.
You are the honey and I am the comb.
Deep in your heart, I call my home.

Oh, heavenly days and bless my soul.
You're my rock when I start to roll.
When darkness falls upon the sun,
You'll still be my only one.
