I love this song. It's adorable.

These lyrics can't be completely correct, honestly. I wrote them by ear and just couldn't make out some of the words. "duke-ing" or duking isn't even a word I believe, that's just how it sounds to me. So let me know any corrections to make.

This song is great though, more obviously about his wife, Sherri. I love the nod he makes to the name Bemis ...as it rhymes with penis.:]

I'm curious about "Shifra" though.

"Feeling what I'm worth" is "Revealing what I'm worth", I think. And "as separate tongues" is "at separate times", so that they wouldn't draw attention to their making out And "and you are duking fine" should probably be "in you I do confide"

Changes made. Those didn't cross my mind, but fit perfectly. Thanks :)

i think its you're spark could light a billion candles, cure the weak and ill
