10:09am

You ask me what I'd like to do
On this, my special day?
Well I'll tell you but only if you'll come with me
Just you and I, okay?

First, let's hit a bookstore 
No, not one that's brand new
But one that has old worn out books
The kind with years accrued

Then let's go museuming
If that's even a word
To see all the exhibits 
Their stories speak unheard

And then let's find old buildings
We'll try to get inside
And wonder who once lived there
And make up tales wide eyed

And finally hit my favorite store
To get drunken goat cheese
We'll take it home and eat it slow
Converse for hours with ease

So yes, it is my special day
And that's what I'd want to DO
But all I'd want for a present 
Is to spend this day with you
