 Well what  do you know here we are  again
 Been a long time I can't remember when
 Well I wrote another one and guess  who it's for
 Don't mind if I'm embarrassed I can't take  it anymore
 You know I travel the world but I don't go  no place
 And I got you to blame and the smile  on your face
 You know I look in your eyes I see a part  of me there
 So excuse my directness, but I just  don't care
 What I think  I'm talking about is a last  ditch chance
 Don't care  about the likelyhood or circumstance
 It seems I'm  still here and I'm waiting  for you
 And I've got no reason  no time and an excellent  view
 Of your eyes  in my head and it's killing  me
 But the possibilities  are thrilling  me
 So I guess I'll sit  right here with nothing better  to do
 And to top  it all of you know the best  part is
 I'm gonna let you on in on a big surprise
 My heart is where the eagle flies
 Yeah I'm the master of my destiny
 That's why I need you right here with me
 You see I've come to learn that without you around
 I might as well be standing on the ground
 And with you with me and with me with you
 There's not a goddamn thing that we could not do
 I'm not talking about us never being alone
 I'm suggesting we make the world our home
 You've got to fly free and so do I
 And this we we'd never need to say goodbye
 But instead things like "see you soon"
 And "explore and play"
 And "the one you love is not far away"
 "But safe in your heart to see you thru"
 And to top it all off you know the best part is that I
 I'm gonna take you take you by the hand
 You know even General Custer had to make a stand
 I'll drop in from the skies or I'll move in slow
 But there's so damn much that I want you to know
 So take a look around you tell me what do you see?
 Then take those eyes and take a look at me
 You know you see things that others don't
 So if you think I'll go away I won't
 You see my engine's blown and it's time to punt
 And there's an element of danger pulling off this stunt
 But the survey says that I don't seem to mind
 And you're the adventure that I'm trying to find
 There's a whole lot of things that other people have said
 But I don't care if I'm correct or if it's all in my head
 So damn the torpedoes and cock a doodle-doo!
 And to top  it all off you know the best  part is that I love  you
 I'm singing I love  you
Please,  I'm down on my knees
 In the north and the south  and the east and the west
 Make it the very,  very, very, very, very
Best,  best part
