Just Thinking Of You

Roses are red, violets are blue,
I hope you don’t mind that I’m thinking of you.
From the moment I looked into your beautiful, big, brown, loving eyes,
To the brightness of your smile,
Right down to the little detail and every piece of your style.
The way you hold my hand as we danced for the few minutes with your heart in my head.
I hope you don’t mind that I’m thinking of you.
With every love song that I sing,
And each smile you plant on my face,
And I hope you don’t mind that I’m thinking of you.
Do you think of me too?
Do you get the butterflies I do when you cross my path,
Or do you notice the change of my hair or how much I stare?
Do you notice how much I think of you?
Roses are red, violets are blue,
It’s hard to admit, but I’m in love with you
