Below are the lyrics to a song I wrote – yeah it’s an actual song.

I wrote this in the spring of 2010 after having met Taylor Mankenberg, who would later become my beloved wife.

It is obviously dedicated to her. This is her song.

I love you, babe.

You’re a beautiful girl

In a beautiful world

And I’m an ugly guy

And I don’t know why

You give me the time of day

Maybe the way that I say “I love you.”

Is all that it takes

For ya to say that you love me too.

–

And every part of my soul

Really wants ya to know

That you’re always on my mind

And I cannot find

A moment in time that I’m

Not thinking of you, Oh what can I do

I really want this dream to come true

I am in love with you

darlin’ it’s true

–

And I don’t know what to say to you

But I am fallin’ in love with you

Yeah, I love you. Yes, I do.

–

You’re a beautiful girl

In a beautiful world

And I’m an ugly guy

And I don’t know why

You give me the time of day

Maybe the way that I say “I love you.”

Is all that it takes

For ya to say that you love me too.
