Olive

By Bruce Clifford

You make my heart skip a beat.
Like I could fly off my grounded feet.
You took my heart and made it whole.
I never want to let you go.
Oh, how Olive you so.

You take my breath and dreams away.
I was once lost in yesterday.
In your eyes I feel I am found.
Olive you so, inside, and out.

You took my soul and made it whole.
Olive you so, truth be told.
You make my dreams come alive.
My heart is racing in overdrive.

Oh, how I cry when we’re apart.
Olive you how you’ve taken my heart.
I was so lost in what had gone astray.
Olive you more each and every day.

You make my heart skip a beat.
Like I could fly off my grounded feet.
You took my heart and made it whole.
I never want to let you go.
Oh, how Olive you so.
