Memorable Lyrics:

• "There is a song that I sing whenever I'm sad, feeling bad/There is a place in my head that I go, when I'm feeling low/To my song I can relate and I don't got to syncopate/Every word is in time, on time, at all times/In our love there is harmony, and I want to see this love through with you"
