When You'Re With Me

To the tune of “ Sixteen Going on Seventeen 
from “The Sound of Music”



When you’re with me,
                I can feel everything, a body’s meant to feel
Butterfly kisses, tell me what this is
                                           My heart is yours to steal

When you’re with me.
               I can do anything, climbing the highest peak
Your love updates me, invigorates me
                                                So I can hardly speak 

What do I care, if others say
                                  that ours is puppy love
They wouldn’t dare, if they could play
                             just what I’m dreaming of

When I’m with you,
          We can do anything, no one can force our hand
Suitors may show up, trying to blow up
                                          They’ll never understand

When you’re with me,
              I can see everything, that there is left to see
There's just one thing, just one undone thing
                                               Seeing you marry me
