Keep it Simple

Gazing on this lilac tree
Blooming here in front of me
Its scented petals fill the air
Springtime's sweet romantic fare

A simple love is what I seek 
Dear Bluebird, may I kiss your beak?

Or mon cheri, a little dance
Somewhere far away in France?

A bicycle that's built for two
An Alpine ride, just me and you

A baseball game at Citifield?
Just tell me, to your whims I'll yield

Let me show you my old home,
Comb all the places where I've roamed

Then finally where I hid the note
When of my love for you first wrote
