Lyrics
Come along and kiss me deep - I got promises to keep for now.
If you were me, so far away, going to St. Louis so hold me now.
I see you run.
You smell so sweet.
I love you more than I let on.
If you were me, what would you do? Would your promises hold true for now?
I know what I would say -
I would make you mine to stay for now.
I see you fly.
You sing so sweet.
I love you more than I let on.
