What is this thing in life

 that persuades me to spend time away from you?

/9

If you can answer this you can have the moon.

This is the place to be

 anyway you can see there’s a lovely view.

Why are there always so many other things to do?

 Distractions, like butterflies are buzzing ‘round my head,

 whenm alone I think of you.

 And the life we’d lead if we could only be free

 from these distractions.

The postman’s at the door

while the telephone rings on the kitchen wall,

pretend we’re not at home and they’ll disappear.

I want to be with you,

tell me what I can do, nothing is too small

away from all this jazz we could do anything at all.

Distractions, like butterflies are...

 Inter:[ /9 ]

I’ll find a peaceful place

far away from the noise of a busy day,

where we can spend our nights counting shooting stars.

Distractions, like butterflies are buzzing ‘round my head,

when I’m alone I think of you,

and the things we’d do if we could only be through

with these distractions, like butterflies are buzzing ‘round my head,

when I’m alone I think of you,

And the life we’d lead if we could only be free

form these distractions.
