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 wishin' on the stars and hopin'
 Just as it shoots across the sky
 Searchin' for the so-called answers
 That we're supposed to find in time
 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, 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 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, darlin'
 Baby, every word 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
 Dear lover
