Mark

Ten years old at Ludington, that's where it all began

You were my very first love, the boy who'd be this man

Sharing seats on the school bus, sitting by your side

Trying to play it cool with all the butterflies inside

Pedaling my blue ten-speed down your avenue

I didn't care about the rest, I only looked for you

Twenty-one years of distance fading in the wind

'Cause on July twenty-sixth, I held your hand again

My heart is fully open, my soul wants to connect

You're the beautiful gentleman I never could forget

This time around, I'm not going anywhere, you see

Mark, I am yours, if you will have me

You're just as handsome now, you still make me smile

Your funny, loving spirit stayed with me all this while

You've always been so patient, a love I always knew

I need that deep friendship, I need to be with you

Looking in your eyes, the decades melt away

Back to the girl on the bike, who only wants to stay

Twenty-one years of distance fading in the wind

'Cause on July twenty-sixth, I held your hand again

My heart is fully open, my soul wants to connect

You're the beautiful gentleman I never could forget

This time around, I'm not going anywhere, you see

Mark, I am yours, if you will have me

My mind and my soul are reaching out for yours

Ready to walk together through these open doors

No more losing contact, no more letting go

I'm giving you the deepest parts of me to let you know

I'm ready to restart, I'm ready to be true

Everything I've ever wanted leads me back to you

Twenty-one years of distance fading in the wind

'Cause on July twenty-sixth, I held your hand again

My heart is fully open, my soul wants to connect

You're the beautiful gentleman I never could forget

This time around, I'm not going anywhere, you see

Mark, I am yours, if you will have me

I am yours, if you will have me
