Pictures of Cameroon
I come home to you on this September afternoon
You’re standing in the kitchen looking at pictures of Cameroon
My eyes meet yours and yours meet mine
We pull in close and you close your eyes
Bodies joined in warm embrace
I turn to you and begin to say
I just might die if I’m not right here by your side
The sun will set but I won’t forget
That you bring new meaning to my life
You’re more precious than a thousand jewels
More lovely than a seaside view
Glad I said I do
Standing by the bay watching little children play
The smile on your face tells me we’ll have kids someday
Cause what is love but two-dimensional
If it doesn’t grow to it’s potential
You tell me love is such a mystery
So let’s go make some discoveries
I just might die if I’m not right here by your side
The sun will set but I won’t forget
That you bring new meaning to my life
You’re more precious than a thousand jewels
More lovely than a seaside view
And I’m sorry my words keep dragging on
But honey I’ll always sing this song
I need you to know relentlessly
For better or worse you are stuck with me
Someday we’ll be old and we might begin to feel the cold
But will it matter? No, cause we’ll have each other here to hold
Cause what is life but two-dimensional
If you don’t live it to its potential
We’re meant for love and fellowship
Let’s hope we make the best of it
I just might die if I’m not right here by your side
The sun will set but I won’t forget
That you bring new meaning to my life
I just might die if I’m not right here by your side
The sun will set but I won’t forget
That you bring new meaning to my life
You’re more precious than a thousand jewels
More lovely than a seaside view
Glad I said I do
