In the paper I read that you're coming to town
And my pulse is not low knowing you'll be around
Never mind all the dangers in life, don't fear
We're a natural match, and I'm glad you're here

I'll make an album proclaiming my love for you
I can hear all the colors in your voice
I'm in a state and don't know how to describe it
It's not sadness, no, just the opposite . . .
Because I've voted and you're my choice

I believe you're a peach because you leave me delighted
But your heart's not full every time that I'm sighted
I hesitate, um, brrr, you're giving me the cold shoulder
But if you could be here now, I promise I would be bolder

I'll make an album proclaiming my love for you
I can hear all the colors in your voice
I'm in a state and don't know how to describe it
It's not sadness, no, just the opposite . . .
Because I've voted and you're my choice

Once an ill wind blew down the branch of a tree
And a beehive crashed but you saved me
That limb was not heavy so why did it fall?
It'll always be super unknown to us all

I'll make an album proclaiming my love for you
I can hear all the colors in your voice
I'm in a state and don't know how to describe it
It's not sadness, no, just the opposite . . .
Because I've voted and you're my choice

Any day with you is a day without rain
And I have not found a better thought in my brain
There's a grand grand canyon between us to span
But I'll yell, oh, and cross it 'til I'm your man

I'll make an album proclaiming my love for you
I can hear all the colors in your voice
I'm in a state and don't know how to describe it
It's not sadness, no, just the opposite . . .
Because I've voted and you're my choice

For your final answer, you'll beam with pride
Move a bit up and to either side
For your final answer, be brave and bold
Finish up the actress with Oscar gold
For your final answer, one moment please,
Just cross North over the Pyrenees
For your final answer, don't be a clown
Ask a cockney from London town

I'll make an album proclaiming my love for you
I can hear all the colors in your voice
I'm in a state and don't know how to describe it
It's not sadness, no, just the opposite . . .
Because I've voted and you're my choice
