Baby would it be too much if I told you that I'm in love?
Life has never been better, we are closer than ever
Baby would it be alright if I took a bit of your time
To tell you my little secret, promise that you will keep it?
If I was ruler for a day and there were things that I could change
I wouldn't change a thing that's how much youmean
You're my favorite pastime and I'm so happy you're mine
We have come so far you know but there's still farther we can go
You're my favorite pastime and baby you make me smile
With the happiness you bring, it makes me wanna sing
Baby would it make you scared if I said I want to be there
To hold you through all the bad times and guide you back to the sunshine?
'Cause baby it would make me cry to not have you in my life
How could I go on breathing when you're the air that I'm needing
If I could have my every wish and there were things that I could switch
I wouldn't switch a thing that's how much you mean
You're my favorite pastime and I'm so happy you're mine
We have come so far you know but there's still farther we can go
You're my favorite pastime and baby you make me smile
With the happiness you bring, it makes me wanna sing
Oh, when I look at you I see the future
That's happy ever after, we'll make it work
Though I may not always please you I'll never grieve you
You lift me up when I am down, so happy that I've found you
'Cause baby you are my
You're my favorite pastime and I'm so happy you're mine
We have come so far you know but there's still farther we can go
You're my favorite pastime and baby you make me smile
With the happiness you bring, it makes me wanna sing
I wanna sing to you
I wanna sing to you, yeah
