about

Yes, this is a love song but it was inspired by several good friendships.
This song is a fundraiser for JV Vidopio who is a friend and musician that inspired some of the lyrics in this song. He was diagnosed with aggressive bladder cancer and needs support for treatment. We did an interview together all about songwriting and everything that's going on so please check it out on my YouTube channel @poeina !!!! You can donate however much you want when purchasing this song and all the proceeds will go to him as long as he needs assistance. There is a second way to donate if you wish by going to tinyurl.com/JVfundraiser

lyrics

I've been knowing you going on for years
I know every line that you've ever rehearsed
I don't mean to be rude, but I love you

why don't you take me on a trip
fly me out to the big island of Hawaii
show me all your memories so I can love you deeply my dear
I wanna smell every flower that you ever remember wearing in your hair
I wanna know each melody your sweet mama
sang to your ear

some say love is a battlefield but the battlefield its a curse
you say so long as the wars on the devil ain't won..yet
I don't mean to be rude but I'll fight for you

why don't you take me on a trip
fly me out to the big island of Hawaii
show me all your memories so I can love you deeply my dear
I wanna smell every flower that you ever remember wearing in your hair
I wanna know each melody your sweet mama
sang to your ear

I know I'm not your lady yet
God willing won't you be my man
you know how long I've been waiting
Lord, Let us be in your plan
Let us be in your plan

why don't you take me on a trip trip
take me on a trip trip
take me anywhere so long as I'm with you my dear
take me on a trip
take me on a trip
oh take me on out of here

why don't you take me on a trip
fly me out to the big island of Hawaii
show me all your memories so I can love you deeply my dear
I wanna smell every flower that you ever remember wearing in your hair
I wanna know each melody your sweet mama
sang to your ear

I wanna know each melody your sweet mama
sang to your ear
