72 Miles From The Sea

When someone falls in love with you

And you with them it is a precious gift

Making every day like Valentine’s Day

Because the gift of love gives you a lift

Since entering my life, a symphony plays
When before was only monotone
And colour now lives in every plane and facet
Where once was only monochrome

Lover, you still do it for me,
Though you are no longer a dolly chick
Your qualities are plain to see
You still scratch my itch and flick my switch

You fill my thoughts before I sleep
And you’re there again when I awake

I have given my heart without regret
I gave it to you for my hearts sake

I have found an all-embracing love
If I lost you my heart would break

Lover you still do it for me,
I’m as ever under your spell
Your qualities are plain to see
And you still ring my bell

Lover you still do it for me,
To me you’re lamb and not mutton
Your qualities are plain to see
And you still push my button

Lover you still do it for me,
Though you now have a fuller figure
Your qualities are plain to see
And you still pull my trigger
