HOW LONG IS LOVE

I live on this island,
I sit on dee beach, read books, and burst into song.
I work the gallery,
Life was peaceful for me 'till she came running along.
 
She likes to play these games that I always lose.
When the ground's too hot to walk, she hides my shoes,
And then she gives me clues, but hey -
Something 'bout the girl adds colour to my world.
But I've felt this before, so I look to dee sky
And I ask dee angels ...
 
"How long is love?  How long is love this time?
 How long is love?  Please let this love be mine!"
 
She makes up a joke
And laughs when I can't understand it.
Yesterday at lunch
She actually put sand in my sandwich.  Yeah.
 
She makes pretty little trinkets from shells and beads,
Goes shopping in the grove - brings me things I don't need,
And then judo-chops my knee, playfully.
Something 'bout the girl adds colour to my world.
But I've felt this before, so I look to dee sky
And I ask dee angels ...
 
"How long is love?  How long is love this time?
 How long is love?  Please let this love be mine!"
 
"How long is love?  'Cause I think I'm sinking deeper.
 How long is love this time?
 How long is love?  'Cause I think I wanna keep her, yeah.
 Please let this love be mine!"
 
I hold out my arms.
 
She sneaks up behind me and grabs my hair,
Whispers something crazy - we melt right there.
Yeah, she's got a way with me.
Something 'bout the girl adds colour to my world.
But I've felt this before, so I look to dee sky
And I ask dee angels ...
 
"How long is love?
 How long is love this time?
 How long is love?  'Cause I think I wanna keep her, yeah.
 Please let this love be mine!
 She's OK for me."
