Lyrics
Just About Enough
(c)2006 Patricia H. Ju
VERSE
I met you through an act of Providence.
I never would've thought I'd have a chance.
Since that time, you've given me your heart.
Now I know where I stand, you've made your mark!
CHORUS
Yeah, yeah, yeah
It's just about time to pop the question.
Just about all that's been on my mind
Is how long are you gonna love me?
The rest of my life
Is just about enough.
VERSE
We may not own a car or [have a bit of] property,
But waking next to you is all I need.
You remind me just how much I am worth,
So I make you this vow:
I'll put you first.
CHORUS repeat
BRIDGE
I don't wanna wait anymore.
I've never been more sure
That you're the one I need.
CHORUS repeat
