Kansas

Here I sit

Writing to a girl

Someone who seems half a world away

Writin to someone who took my heart

Not because she stole it but rather because I gave it away

I hold here in my hands a piece of her

Something that I will never let fall to the ground

I will not let it drown

Here I sit

Writing her this letter

As she is sittin in her room

I can see her sittin there thinking of me

thinking of her

thinking of how our future should be

I could easily change my lifestyle

I'd be more than willing to stay down there a while

Get an education, Get a job

Get what everybody wants

And that is love

And it is waitin in a room

Dark screening pulled all around her

She is laying there, dreaming of me

Thinking about how our lives could be



I gave myself

My everything I had

All to a girl

All to someone I could maybe love and hold

This life is golden

And I think I found the treasure

I gave away my very treasure

To a girl that seems half a world away



I must say

I never loved a girl

I never gave her my everything

Until now



It is all because I love a girl

Down in Kansas.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

To the girl who rules my dreams and my thoughts every other second of the day.
