Dear Lover

If I could paint a picture

Of the love I have inside

It would paint all of you and all of me

Without no thought of pride

Then maybe you would know

Exactly all the things I feel

Not just a maybe

Baby, I'm for real

'Cause I've been wishing on the stars and hoping

Just as it shoots across the sky

Searching for the so-called answers

That we're supposed to find in time

Been holding you close

And not letting go

Baby, I've got to let you know

Dear lover

I hope this letter finds you

Dear lover

And that it comes in time to say no

C'est la vie

Baby, dear lover

Listen to me

If I could write your name out

Forever in the Hall of Fame

It would be history, no mystery

Not at all in vain

I'd quote a poet on a verse

That I read when I was small

And write your name out

Across the sky in letters ten feet tall

'Cause I've been wishing on the rings of Saturn

Calling on Jupiter and Mars

Praying on ten zillion light years

To bring you closer to my heart

Holding you close

Not letting go

Baby, I've got to let you know

Dear lover

I hope this letter finds you

Dear lover

And that it comes in time to say no

C'est la vie

Baby, listen to me, darling

Baby, every words that I say

Baby, I'll give you my love, ooh

Baby, if you say you love me

I'll be right by your side

Dare anyone to try to take you from me all my life

Straight from my heart

Dear lover

Straight from my heart

Dear lover

Straight from my heart

Dear lover

Ooh

Dear lover

Dear lover

Straight, straight, straight from my heart

Dear lover
