I'll teach you to golf a hole in one
I'll stay with you at the pool for a day in the sun
I'll play tennis on your team 'til the game is done
But I'll only play checkers if it means you're having fun

I'll watch you read with your jaw hanging wide
I'll do anything to help you forget why you cried
I'll share something special that I've always kept inside
But I'll only be yours if you put the world aside

I'll stare at our fingers as they intertwine
I'll look in your eyes and watch them shine
I'll put a thumb to your cheek and wipe away the brine
But I'll only hold your hand if you hold mine
