Will the Cat Steal Your Tongue

Call 911…I’m sorry to interrupt, I’m sorry to disturb you I just seem to be lost…lost in the grip of your love, lost in your loving creamy eyes Every day, every day you stick your neck out to save me, see me happy And the only thing I do in return is try my best to keep a smile upon your luring lips You are, you are my beautiful sapphire Shining brightly even on this depressing, rainy day The words in the dictionary are too heavy weighted To even begin to explain the precious star, you You can call me crazy as many times as you like My response will always be creative But I’m sure we both know I’m only another guy tripping over my own heels In your presence, in your comfortable embrace Receiving gifts, I know you’re not used to I, myself, am not used to having someone to give a gift to until I met you So please, will you allow me to give this gift to you: A rose to remind you of your elegance A box of chocolate to let you know how sweet you are A carefully constructed heart to prove you’re loved An orchestrated song to share a magical moment with you And me, just to sing the words back to you Thursday, Valentine’s Day If Thursday’s what it takes to prove, guess I have nothing left to lose The richest guy I know I’m not; I only have ten dollars to my name Looks aren’t my strongest point despite constant compliments And I’m more stubborn than a sick elderly man But still I look myself in the mirror, proud and brave to be myself Telling myself I’m worthy to be with you Will you look me in the eyes and say the same Or will the cat steal your tongue this time Just the same; it’s easier to kiss you when your lips are sealed in surprise
