Eighty Miles and Hour
Fifty miles an hour,
 One car goes by.
 Vroom.
 An now it's been two.
 I remain here,
 Right beside you.
 
 Fifty miles an hour;
 Vroom;
 The world slips by.
 Ta, ta, ta;
 The music plays on.
 Thump-a, thump-a;
 My heart beats calm.
 
 Sixty-five miles an hour,
 A third car goes by.
 Vroom.
 And now it's been four.
 I remain here,
 Excited evermore.
 
 Sixty-five miles an hour;
 Vroom.
 The world runs by.
 Da, da, da;
 The music grows fainter.
 Thump-it-a, thump-it-a;
 My heart skips quicker.
 
 Eighty miles an hour,
 A fifth car goes by.
 Vroom.
 And now it's been six.
 Remaining here,
 It's us I try to fix.
 
 Eighty miles an hour;
 Vroom;
 The world speeds by.
 La, la, la;
 The music does not last.
 Thump-it-ee-a, thump-it-ee-a;
 My heart speedsfast.
 
 Beyond, life soars.
 By me he races;
 Discovering the new
 At speedy paces,
 Experiencing it all
 With bold embraces.
 
 Within, love beats.
 By me he races;
 Through the friends
 And the faces,
 Past the memories
 And the places.
 
 Eighty miles an hour,
 I remain here,
 Right beside you.
 The world speeds past
 And my heart beats true.
 A seventh car goes by,
 And looking in the rear view,
 Vroom.
 My heart finally passes you.
