*Intro/Lead-in I no lyrics
*Intro/Lead-in II TWICE w/ lyrics:
If a picture paints a thousand words,
Then why can't I paint you?
The words will never show
The you I've come to know.

If a face could launch a thousand ships,
Then where am I to go?
There's no one home but you,
You're all thats left me to.  <---thats a guess on the lyrics folks!

If a man could be two places at one time
I'd be with you,
Tomorrow and today,
Beside you all the way.

If the world should stop revolving
Spinning slowly down to die,
I'd spend the end with you,
And when the world was through,
