Did you know, do you know
that you are so wise,

Did you know, do you know
that it is no surprise,

Do you say, do you tell
me the truth,

When you say, with a smile
that you have,
that you do,
that you will,
love me true.

In your heart,
with each beat
there is a lovely tune,
in its rhythm
as it beats
it says,
I love you.

You are the one
with reason as your guide,

I am the other
with passion in my stride.

Some of you,
Some of I,
our hearts will entwine,
Reason and passion
proportioned to equalize.

I love you,
You love me,
together we shine,
as a bright star above
we twinkle in,
three quarter time.
