Speed
Saving up all my money
Going to buy a guitar
Got so many melodies
But made no music so far
Started to like writing
Because of a special girl
She reaches out and touches me
From another part of the world
Now every day brings mystery
Of life’s beauty to unfold
And I try to hide it
But I have fallen for this girl
But not going to push her
You can’t build love on speed
You can have all you want
But can only use what you need
I like to see her smiling
She brings out the best in me
And her joy is spreading
Like the deep blue sea
And if you hear her talking
You swear it’s a symphony
And when she’s out walking
The sun comes down to see
She got me hanging
By the beat of my heart
And I’m just waiting
For her to say lets make a start
But I’m not going to push her
You can’t build love on speed
Must have some patience
You can’t rush in with greed
Now I wake each morning
Say hello to the sun
The sun says who you are
Where have the lonely guy gone
I walk around singing
At the top of my voice
The bird’s heard a melody
Before it was a noise
Love can work magic
Deep down in your soul
Love can turn a broken heart
In to a pot of goal
And I’m not going to push her
You can’t build love on speed
If you move to fast
You could cause a stampede
