One, Two, I Love You

(album: Rumor Has It - 1997)

Kindergarten, five years old
You and me and mother goose
Learning lines to nursery rhymes
That's when I fell in love with you

Back when it was
One, two, buckle my shoe
Three, four, shut the door
Five, six, pick up sticks
Even then my heart was yours

College days miles apart
So afraid you'd forget
Writing letters every day
And ending every one like this

One, two, I miss you
Three, four, I walk the floor
Five, six, come back quick
And I don't want to miss you no more

A little girl, a little boy
Playing on a swing in the yard
And as we watch I hold your hand
And you're still holding onto my heart

And now it's
One, two, I love you
Three, four, let's have one more
Five, six, I wouldn't miss
A day of this for all the treasure on the ocean floor

One, two, I love you
Three, four, let's shut the door
Five, six, kiss after kiss
I can't wait to hold you once more
