I tied the rope around your throat,
Only to scare and not to choke,
And then I nestled down with hope,
I kissed the wind and watched it blow,
Darling I will treasure the day,
Darling when you treasure my face oh yes I will,
Darling I through pleasure and pain,
Swear that I will find you some day,
The streets could all be paved with gold,
As good as blind I guess I'll never know,
And some they say are scared of growing old,
What do they know that I don't,
Darling I will catch your eye and make us two,
But darling I, to only I can I be true,
And darling I, won't tell a lie but trust me you,
We're growing wise,
Pick a time, pick a day,
Lay your head, sail away,
But don't you dare to ever change,
Pick a time, pick a day,
Lay your head sail away,
Everything will come your way,
Darling I will treasure the day,
Darling when you treasure my face oh yes I will,
Darling I through pleasure and pain,
Swear that I will love you some day.
