John I love you I'm ever so fond of you Will you wait for me Till I am heavenly Oh there's much work to do But I love you Oh you're tender Your name's a whisper I let tears fall like rain Apple-sized they were All over her And through all of those times When you could have died This is what you find There's life outside your mother's garden There's life beyond your wildest dreams There hasn't been any explosion We're not spinning like Dorothy If you look now then you'll see why Don't be afraid to cry This time don't let yourself fly Child Pick up those dancing shoes Kick off those wedding blues These are the ways You can choose Child you're tender Your name's a whisper There's life outside your mother's garden There's life beyond your wildest dreams There hasn't been any explosion We're not spinning like Dorothy And if you look now then you'll see why Don't be afraid to cry This time don't let yourself fly Child Pick up those dancing shoes Kick off those wedding blues These are the ways You can choose Child I love you I'm ever so fond of you
