ALL THE TIME (a duet)

(Hers)

You can count up every wildflower
In this field where we lay
Every branch on every tree
That grows and gives off shade

You can walk down to the riverbank
Add up every tiny rock
It still won't total near the times
You've occupied my thoughts

Every bubble on the foamy sea
All the feathers on a birds fine wings
Every God-given wonder perfectly combined
You can add them up and not get enough to find

A number near the times...
You've occupied my mind

~~~*Chorus*~~~
You smile and say 
Baby don't you see
That's a pure impossibility
But it's nice to know that I am on your mind
All the time
You laugh and pull me close to you
Surrender your heart
Knowing mine beats true
Absently counting every flower that you find
All the time
~~*~~

(His)

You can count up every nut and bolt
In every car that's made
Every cent to every human
Who works to draw a wage

You can walk into a cotton field
Add up every single pod
It still won't total near the times
You've occupied my thoughts

All the hair on horse's manes
Every mile traveled by plane
All things by God and man 
Perfectly combined

You can add them up
And not get enough to find
A number near the times
You've occupied my mind

~~~*2nd Chorus*~~~
I smile and say 
Baby don't you see
That's a pure impossibility
But it's nice to know that I am on your mind
All the time
You laugh and pull me close to you
Surrender my heart
Knowing yours beats true
Absently counting every penny that I find
All the time
~~*~~

Finale
~~*~~
Yeah..
I know it seems impossible
To love someone so much
That everything becomes a stepping stone
Leading up to their next touch
And every little, tiny thing, in the world, you find
Cannot surpass
No matter what you add
The person on your mind
All the time...
~~*~~
