For and about Valerie Walker

Boy Next Door:
Got this buddy in one helluva bind.
Found this girl. Lost his mind.
Help me help him crawl out of his hole.
Should he tell her? Bare his soul?
Or should he turn and run away?
Be alone another day?
Or should he walk right up and say,
?I?m giving you my heart today??
Girl Next Door:
Look at me the way I look at you and say,
?It?s Forever Today!?
A day lasts but a day, but love can make it stay
Forever Today.
The only hearts we?ll save are the ones we gave
Forever Today.
Funny! Gotta friend in a similar place.
Lost her heart when she/ saw his face.
Should she be a fool, a fool times two?
Fall in love, and confess it, too?
Or should she turn and run away?
Be alone another day?
Or should she walk right up and say,
?I?m giving you my heart today??
Boy Next Door:
?Look at me the way I look at you and say,
?It?s Forever Today!?
A day lasts but a day, but love can make it stay
Forever Today.
The only hearts we?ll save are the ones we gave
Forever Today.?
All:
Really must confess?.(What I gotta say?)
I?m a jumbled mess? (My heart went away?. )
Just one look I knew? (It?s more than a dream?)
My starvin? days are through? (It?s sugar and cream?.)
We?ll never turn and run away!
Together every single day!?
Boy Next Door:
?And when the sun comes up, you?ll say? ?
Girl Next Door:
?I?m giving you my heart today!?
All:
?Look at me the way I look at you and say,
?It?s Forever Today!?
A day lasts but a day, but love can make it stay
Forever Today.
The only hearts we save are the ones we gave
Forever Today.
I will never miss you, never never miss you
If you let me kiss you Forever Today.
I will never miss you, never never miss you
If you let me kiss you Forever Today??
