You’re the lolli to my pop…
The strings in my shoes…
The paint on my nails…
Yup, that’s you…
You’re the one who makes me happy…
The one who makes me sad…
You’re the Kodak to my moment…
And the blueprint to my plan…
Yup, that’s you…
You’re the skip in my step…
The rings on my fingers…
And the songs on my phone…
Yup, that’s you...
You’re the butter to my bread…
The trick in my treat…
And the book to my bag…
Yup, that’s you…
You’re the milk in my cereal ...
The basket to my ball…
You’re the number in my cell that I love to call…
Yup, that’s you…
But most of all…
You’re really just a person I made up out the blue…
Yup, that’s you…
