Love is not
Money in a pocket
Nor is it
A picture in a locket

Love is a smell
Or a smile on a child
Love is a spell
That makes the chili pepper mild

It is the peanut butter
Spread on the bread
It is the neon green light
Or even the red

It is the breath from your lips
Or light from the bulb
It is the sun that will kiss
The trees standing tall

It is the sound of the bird
That sings right outside
It is the words that hide
Beneath each of my lines

It is your eyes watching me
Walk down the hall
It is building a bridge
Then watching it fall

Take me away
Take me today
To love’s playground
Where all the lovesick kids play

Where the sand is soft
And the sky is high
We’ll jump off the swings
Then together we’ll fly
