While I’m Still Counting

Let’s take walk in the snow- Let’s talk about the things we know
I’ll admit it’s a lot to show- I’ll confess it’s a long row to hoe.
 
Let’s take a drive through the mountains- Let’s take a drink at the fountain
 The stars in the sky- surrounding- Talk to me while I’m still counting
 
Let’s gather wood and light a fire- Let’s sleep against that log we both know we’re tired
Holding back from love to admire…- all those feelings we have that inspire…
 
Let’s take a drive through the mountains- Let’s take a drink at the fountain 
The stars in the sky- surrounding-  Talk to me while I’m still counting
 
You- You can break my bread-  You- You will always turn my head
I…I know the books you’ve read-  I…I know at times you’ve fled…
 
You- You can break my bread- You- You will always turn my head
I…I’ve seen the books you’ve read- I…I see the path you’d like to tread.

That moment you took my hand- On our first walk along the sand
As the sea met the land-  The horizon made us understand…
 
Let’s take a drive through the mountains- Let’s run around in the fountains
The stars in the sky- surrounding- Talk to me while I’m still counting
 
…while I’m still counting…- …while I’m still counting…
…while…I’m… still…
