By the Numbers
Everybody love to say they’re number one,
but it takes two
to make beautiful music,
so we’re told
Pitch perfect
That one favorite song two lovers have,
it never gets old
After ninety nine repeats,
it sounds one zero zero multiple beautiful than it did before
Three times is the charm ...
It makes a woman love you even more,
if you say “I love you” more
than once or twice every 365
And you give her a three-day weekend
of 24/7 loving
This will make her feel so alive
Don’t you know the wind blow
four ways
Trouble can come from any direction
any day
This is a 100 percent guarantee, by the way
That’s why you need to take
a month of Sundays quality time,
do a 180 turnaround unwind
Chill relax ... okay!
Indulge in a little romantic
23 strawberry whisper foreplay
Give your lady 50 years worth of chocolate kisses,
and a 70's bouquet of strobe light velvet rose touches
Tell her that your 1001 Arabian night desires
will fulfill 15 Jeannie lifetimes of her Aladdin lamp wishes
That you truly Cinderfella love
the way her fairytale love is ...
four real!
How when she turns the room temperature up above
five hundred Celsius degrees —
the fire in her lips melts your heart with ease
Giving you love fever chills over your whole body,
as the thermometer is spiking hot mercury
of one hundred and four point three
Now a million thoughts is zooming in your mind,
past the speed of light ... rocket ship flying,
And a billion-watt supernova pleasure overdose
got you feeling like your dawn star is dying
So you get a 90-amp serotonin battery recharge
from daydreaming of some afternoon delight,
and thinking about your special evening tonight
How it took a zero to sixty accelerated heartbeat
to put together this fast and furious plan ...
That in your Ferrari dreams, you’re her number one fan:
showing her Alfa Romeo acts of your love,
Maserati signs of being her main pit stop man
Speed dial ... Person to person,
zooming on time for the romantic appointment
With beauty parlor eyes you open your hand,
and give her hair five finger comb caresses
Your best beach bum greeting smile say,
you love how she looks every work day
Stepping out in style in five different dresses
Tonight you’re taking her out
to dinner at six
And seven minutes into the conversation,
you’re getting kinda nervous ...
So you take a seven times seven seconds of rest,
you’ve been thinking about this moment all week
Oh, the memory is picture perfect!
And after the eighth sip of ambrosia
you find your late-date Casanova courage
Superstition says a cat got nine lives,
well, all of yours is bound up into a single vow tonight
You ask her: will she be your wife?
She says, yes! ... zero hesitation to the marriage request
Tells you her ten toes are twenty-something tingling,
and that her dove heart is canary singing
So together you laugh and dance
until the eleventh hour Paradise chime
And you both say to yourself,
you got an Eden love of your own this time
When come the stroke of midnight,
two pairs of twinkling eyes
look long at the sparkling promise:
A glinting glimpse of a lifetime of passionate desire,
where each new day the flame keeps getting higher
Two souls ... one heart
merging together in a golden ring of diamond fire
Then giving each other
a tender kiss and a brief parting sigh
And dozens of happy ending teardrops,
with plenty good tears of joy they cry
But they will forever have a love story to tell,
painting a pretty picture by the numbers,
colorfully spoken well —
The first letter in the word LOVE is L:
and L in the alphabet is letter number twelve
Can’t wait to hear those heavenly wedding bells
Ringing with the singing of 10,000 times ten thousand
times ten thousand times 10,000 squared angelic voices
Pitch perfect harmony beheld
And the number of Resurrection babies born
is infinity times twelve
Salvation perfect stars shining bright
Zillions upon zillions of joyous laughter delight ...
overflowing saintly voices
gushing from the fountain of Life
Eternity’s children echoing one universal Truth:
LOVE’S number total sum is ad infinitum
