What to Wear

We're going out tonight

Dinner and a show

You ask what should you wear

I say "I don't know"

I get up and follow

As you sigh and walk away

You stand in your closet

I stand in the doorway

You toss a dress to the bed

Another falls to the floor

I smile as I catch your hand

And ask "What are you looking for?"

I pull you closer

And whisper in your ear

I thought about it

I know what you should wear

Just brush your hand through your hair

Like when you get nervous

It reminds me of our first date

And how kissing you took all my courage

I want you to wear those eyes

The dark ones that warm my heart

They look beautiful in any light

Like a true work of art

And could you wear that smile

The one that lights up the room

It would accent your eyes

Like the sun lights the moon

And I'd like you to bring your touch

The one that holds my hand

And erases all my worries

And make it tender, if you can

Of course you'd have to bring your voice

Bring the soft one and the firm one

They go together perfectly

Like a duet beautifully sung

And if you would bring along your heart

So that I can hold it for you,

I'll protect it with my life

And love it like only I can do.
