she sits in the shade of a tree
arms around her leg, her chin on her knee
she’s thinking of life as it is
she ponders what if, and dreams what could be
if only she’d follow that dream
the sun would shine down, a bright golden beam
to lighten her life she would see
a real love waiting to be
she should open her heart
and receive a fresh start
love would fill every part
it’s a choice that is smart
to be free
to start a new journey with me
realize that it’s true
that desire deep in you
reaching out to pursue
happiness would ensue
strife would flee
after giving your heart to me
the first step is so hard to take
she’s at a crossroads, decisions to make
to stay sad in a life’s little place
or pick a new path, for peace of mind’s sake
it’s not easy I can relate
take a chance with love, then live with its fate
to be part of a new he and she
based on dreams both of us see
a new page to begin
brand new joys there to spin
please go for the win
to miss out would be sin
can’t you see
just start a new life loving me
it’s your heart you should trust
live your dreams it’s a must
the intentions are just
think of gold it won’t rust
you and me
forever in love we will be
