Lub-Dub
lub-dub
lub-dub
I am alive
and ready to take on the day
and whatever
may come my way
lub-dub
lub-dub
the time between the beats
changes
with my pace
and the expression on my face
lub-dub
lub-dub
the time of day
is divided
into twenty four hours
with many beats
how many beats
does it take to make the bed
or take a train to work
how many beats
does it take to count the beats
I must count the beats some time
before it's too late
lub-dub lub-dub
lub-dub lub-dub
the heart is a variable metronome
that does not measure time or keep time
it can only keep the beat going
and measure love
lub-dub lub-dub
lub-dub lub-dub
time
does nothing
love
does it all
