someday we may have riches
turn two fishes into shoals
right now we have each other
and no other girl can hold
a candle to your beauty
to your strength through thick and thin
for you I’ll do my duty
I’ll prove I’m decent skin
I love you dear sincerely
each day a little more
and I promise dear sincerely
to mend the holes I tore
and whether there are riches
or my fishes turn to bones
you’re the girl to hold the candle
to the strangles in my soul
