Jaclyn!

Thrilled

V1) over the years, I’ve learned not to expect too much/ because, when I do, I’m always heartbroken/ if my imagination didn’t run so wild/ maybe I’d be happier in the end/ try as I might, I simply can’t control myself/ and, not surprisingly, with you it’s the same/ as soon as I introduced myself, man, I was hooked!/ and all these crazy thoughts ran through my brain/

Bridge) and I just can’t wait…/

Chorus) **for you to hold my hand, telling me that you missed me/ you to pull my face so close to yours and kiss me/ I can finally shout for joy instead of screaming**/ and I’d be thrilled beyond articulation/ make me feel like I’m on top of creation/ gotta pinch myself to know that I’m not dreaming/

V2) every once in a while, I can convince myself/ that I never wanted you anyway/ that you were just a distraction and a waste of time/ and certainly not worth all the heartache/ but, usually, I don’t even get to this point/ because I’m way too busy thinking this is fate/ I can’t get myself to just step back and breathe/ and try to calm my hands as they shake/

**for you to constantly refer to me as “baby”/ you to say that, without me, you would go crazy/ I can’t even control my excitement, I’m beaming**/

V3) over the years, I’ve learned not to expect too much/ but, I’m hoping you’ll surprise me in the end/

**for you to ask me, “babe, will you forever be mine?”/ you to promise that you’ll love me for all of time/ as I say, “I do,” tears down my face are streaming**/
