Love
He smiles at her
She smiles right back at him
What is this feeling?
A warm embrace between them
Hearts racing, yes this is love

Teddy bears
A small companion
Always around to listen
Snuggley and warn
The perfect cuddle buddy
Never going to judge you

Music
Quiet melody
Slowly increasing tempo
A soft voice sings out
Calling out to everyone
The steady beat draws you in
Hypnotized by the sweet song
