Lyrics

Don't tell me
About a night in June
Or a shady wave
Beneath a velvet moon
Don't tell me
'Cause I want to talk about you
Don't mention that waterfall
Or that grassy spot
Where crickets softly call
Don't tell me
'Cause I want to talk about you
The moon and the stars
The objects on Mars
Are things that we've talked of before
But your love for me
Was a question
Your answer to that, Heaven's door
So tell me
Your love will be sincere
Then my darling
You needn't ever fear
'Cause I love you
And I want to talk
About you
Yes, indeed
Did you check it brother? Did you check?
