Any Pretense At All

I don't care where we go
it doesn't matter what we do
let the pretense be anything at all
as long as I can be with you.

I count the days until I'll see you
the next time can never be too soon
it's hard to say goodbye each night
when I want another hour with you.

I think of you with each phone ring,
do you hear my voice in your sleep too?
I feel your hand in mine when a love song plays
'cause I'm happy just to be with you.

Each day at work my heart waits
for a reminder of you that's due
and a hint of what the weekend holds
and how much I can spend with you.

It's amazing how you give me
a feeling that's always new
that moves me so seriously
every time that I'm with you.

So I'll see you every chance I can
I never want to miss that view
that makes me feel moreso every day
that all I want is to be with you.
