No crickets on the common
No bees in the trees
No swallows
In the hollow
Just you and me

Sometimes I thought that I might complicate the issue
Sometimes I thought you might scream
But I can’t hide my fascination
With a little you and me

No murmurs in the meadow
No swoon in the moon
No shivers
In the river
Just me and you

Sometimes I thought that you might compromise the mission
Sometimes I didn’t know what I would do
But I can’t deny my dedication
To a little me and you

You still pretend that I’m not what you’re after
But I can’t pretend to believe that you don’t know it’s true
I know you like to make believe
That you think I can do so much better
But what could be better than you?

No peace in pretending
No flight in the night
No wishes with the fishes
Just you and I

Sometimes I thought that you might never give me half a chance
Sometimes I thought that I might die
But you must know that I am so committed
To a little you and I
