Love is the answer, at least for most of the questions in my heart,
like why are we here? And where do we go?
And how come it's so hard?

I'll tell you one thing, it's always better when we're together

When the morning light sings

Just me and you
Not so many things we got to do
Or places we got to be
We'll sit beneath the mango tree now
