Beat the Clock - One Time Around

I'm here
I'm not afraid at all
I stand here with my feet firm on the ground
And the world is at the door
Something that I was told
I'm proud that I can stand this tall
I hold a hand beside me just as strong
And the eyes are all around
We carry a heavy load
And in times like these
When the chill is in the breeze
I hope I'll spend my life with you
And in my dedicated tone
I'm sure that you are painfully aware
That the road is very long
Traveling through the world
And as I watch my folks get old
I feel a sense of duty and I hope
I can show them all I've learned
Having a baby girl
But in times like these
When I talk above my means
I look to you
Am I the fool
That I am
I can't believe myself
I've always held an independent stance
But if I'm forced to look around
You're overly qualified
One time around
That's what I've found
If you'll only light the way
On a dark day or two or three
I've set myself up for the fall
And I could not pretend to know it all
But I'm singing to a crowd
Love is a poetry
Why don't you come with me
From now until the end of time
I'll be your man you'll be my wife
We'll see the world we'll watch the stars
I'll hold your hand forever I'll be yours
And I could be a love to you
I'll hold you up and you'll hold me
I found a place to tackle life
I'll never be too far from sight
