Bet You Didn'T Know

BET YOU DIDN’T KNOW
BEST OF TIMES WITH YOU HONEY

AS WE LAID TOGETHER SIDE BY SIDE LISTENING TO THE RAIN
YOU TOOK MY HAND, I TRUSTED YOU THOUGH I THOUGHT YOU WERE 
INSANE
THEN YOU ASKED IF I WOULD JOIN YOU, NAKED IN THE STORM
THERE WE STOOD ON YOUR FRONT STEPS, OH HOW YOU KEPT ME WARM
THIS MOMENT I WILL NEVER FORGET

BET YOU DIDN’T KNOW

THE BEST TIME OF MY LIFE, WAS OUR WEEK TOGETHER
THOSE HOURS MAKING LOVE, THE DAYS WE SPENT IN ECSTASY, 
YOU WRAPPED YOUR LOVE AROUND ME; 
I WOULD HAVE STAYED WITH YOU FOREVER 
IF YOU HAD ONLY ASKED ME

BET YOU DIDN’T KNOW

IF I COULD GO BACK IN TIME AND CHANGE WHAT WAS TO BE
I WOULD HAVE GIVEN YOU A CHILD, A LITTLE ROSEMARIE
THIS MAY SOUND KIND OF STRANGE TO YOU; 
WE HAVE CHILDREN OF OUR OWN
BUT IF I COULD GIVE APART OF ME, SHE WOULD MAKE FOR US A HOME
FOR ONCE I PRAYED TO BE BLESSED, PLEASE MAKE THIS ONE A POSITIVE 
TEST    

BET YOU DIDN’T KNOW

WE WORKED TOGETHER EVERY DAY AND MADE LOVE MANY NIGHTS
THE CAROUSEL, INDIAN JOKES AND OUR SILLY FIGHTS
ST. AUGUSTINE, THE BUGGY RIDE, THE KISS BEHIND THE CANNON 
YOUR SHOES ON WRONG, I STOLE THE SOAP, LUNCHES IN YOUR VAN
CHINESE FOOD, WEATHER ON THE 8’S, HAIRDRYER IN THE BACKROOM
THE YARD SALE, OUR MINI BREAKS, AFTERNOON TREATS IN BED
ALL THIS AND SO MUCH MORE, I TREASURE EVERY MINUTE
I’M HONORED YOU ARE IN MY LIFE AND “ALIVE” BECAUSE YOU’RE IN IT

BET YOU DIDN’T KNOW

FROM NOW THROUGH INFINITY, I LOVE YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY 
HEART
