A shooting star made of four-leaf clovers
Crashes at the end of a rainbow
The explosion leaves a pot of golden elixir
A potion that provides immortality
My senseless wandering brings me upon it
I rejoice and drink, and share it with you
Now we will both live forever together
And spend eternity exploring the world (and each other)
Will just make us laugh
I'll come across a black cat with glowing eyes
While walking under an abandoned ladder
On the 13th Friday of October at dusk
But you'll stay by my side through it all
Even as storm clouds gather above me
You'll shield me from lightning till the day I am dead
Despite the fact I made an ugly face
At some time when the wind's direction changed
Would not be enough to bring us unstuck
You'll watch from the sidelines as I practise my tennis
Joking about how you could kick my butt
And teasing me about looking so hot in shorts
(Even though we both know it's not true)
I'll sit with you as you play the piano
Head on your shoulder, arm 'round your back
Singing along, so horribly out of tune
Then we'll turn on the radio and dance 'round the room
Of passion and tennis shorts; one thing leads to the next
We'll go to the park, ignoring the forecast
And you'll 'forget' to bring your coat
So when the rain pours down, we'll share mine
While huddling under our initial-engraved tree
As rainbow-filtering droplets fall from glistening leaves
Soaking your skin-tight shirt and ruining my straightened hair
Which you'll run your fingers through as you squash me against the tree
Because cuddling is an extreme sport, and we are both olympic athletes
As long as you're with me, as long as you're mine
You'll always think that I'm your perfect catch
Even though we [ like my socks ] do not match
