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
