i will spend my whole life loving you

august afternoon

i can picture you

walking with your father at your side

in the summer heat

california speaks

softly like she's making up her mind

and now

as i stand beside you i say

baby

isn't it crazy that we are born only to die?

but lately

i've been counting my stars

'cause i will spend my whole life loving you

through your shining eyes

sweet like jeffrey pines

i pretended i could read your thoughts

now it's just the truth

seems our hearts have fused

soldered like the gold your sister brought

and how am i lucky enough to say

baby

isn't it crazy that we are born only to die?

but lately

i've been counting my stars

'cause i will spend my whole life loving you

loving you. and i say baby

isn't it crazy that we are born only to die?

but lately

i've been counting my stars

'cause i will spend my whole life loving you
