Opposite Shifts

A penny for your thoughts my dear
When you’re alone, at night in bed.
A penny for the dreams you have,
when dreams of you are in my head.

A smile for a smile returned,
If I reach out to hold your hand,
A kiss to follow every smile
If you reach out to hold my hand.

The moon for you and all your love,
If your love for me is forever true.
Sunshine for your rainy days,
If you’ll always let me love you too.

A child for you to grace your days,
A child to grace your life.
A life with me to have and hold,
For I’ll be all yours as your sweet wife.
