My Dearest Hunny

-

Of all the "hunnies" I have ever known,
One has always stood out in memory.
The purple-clad ninja-girl, my comrade…
Quick as lightning, both of hand and wit…

In all honesty, I don't know why I pursue…
She pushes me away each and every time…
Whether it's a teasing comment,
Or a little more…like a hug…

But there's something so alluring about her…
Something about her wittiness and sharp tongue…
And I am drawn to her like a moth to flame…
Inevitably, the pain will strike…and yet I move.

She's funny…when she's not swatting at me,
Telling Volt I'd look brighter if I glowed a little…
Summoning Undine to help me "clean up my act…"
Even the Sylph…they know how to "brush" me away…

But yeah, aside from fearing my life,
She does, says things, which keep me trying.
Like her comment last night…
"If only he wasn't such a flirt…"

There's just something about her…
And you know, one day, she will fall for me.
One day…I feel it. I know it.
I just have to try harder. A LOT harder…

I know that I have to stop my flirting…
But it's soo much fun…!
No, I tell myself. I want her to be mine…
And if I must sacrifice, she is worth it

I believe in miracles, baby.
I believe in you…
I believe in miracles, baby.
I believe in you…

After all, the sun is setting…
And for a whole three days now,
I have kept my hands and mouth to myself.
It's like being on a diet…you have to hold back.

They say the day is ending.
Let's watch the sun go down
And plan a holiday for two.

One day, Sheena Fujibayashi,
My voluptuous ninja-hunny,
After this journey ends,
You and I will have a vacation…

For all eternity
I'm gonna count till you can see
The world I created just for you.

Oh, I have it all planned out.
A good week or so at Altamira…
Luxuriating at the famous hotel,
Enjoying the various rides at the park…

Oh, I saw you standing on the street…
I wanted to meet you and stop for a while.
You gave me a smile when you said hello.

And then, we'll rest in Meltokio,
In my mansion, of course…
I still find it hard to believe that not so long ago,
We were strangers, meeting in the town square…

You're everything so good inside,
That I realized that I didn't hide,
The feeling that came when you felt the same…

That day, of course, you were busy…
I remember asking your name…
And that you just breezed past me…
No girl had ever done that to me before.

I believe in miracles…
I believe in miracles…
I believe in miracles…

don't you…?

It was only after you were coming back out,
That you had even noticed I was there.
Amidst a group of my adorable "hunnies,"
I barely saw as you briskly walked by.

Don't you?
(La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la…)
(La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la…)
(La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la…)

Even after these many months together,
I have yet to figure out exactly what it is…
That "charm" about you…so unique…
It just has a way of making me work…

Here we are together, face-to-face…forever…
Got a place that I created just for you, you, you…!

And though you always reject my public advances,
Whenever I approach you quietly, you are different.
You lose that façade, that "tough-girl" image…
And for but a moment, I can see the real "you" shine.

Feelin' that faith and what you feel…
Believe in Jesus second here…
One day soon the miracle will come, too…

And during those moments, you glow.
You are the perfect girl within…
A mix of strength, softness, and wisdom…
And in those moments, there are no others.

I believe in miracles…(don't you?)
I believe in miracles…(don't you?)
I believe in miracles…

don't you…?

I guess that you're right, in some ways…
It will take that "miracle" for me to hold back…
For me not to call every girl a "hunny,"
Charming as she may be…

I believe…I believe…
(La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la…)
(La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la…)
(La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la…)

But you know what? On the same note,
It would take me a miracle to see the real "you."
To see you without that mask of toughness…
Not just in a moment of glory, but every time, everyday.

I believe…I believe…
(La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la…)(don't you?)
(La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la…)(don't you?)
(La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la…)(don't you?)

One day, I'll have to get it right…
One day, I'll stop the "hunny" trend…
One day, I'll stop adoring the others…
One day, those miracles will come…

I believe…I believe…
(La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la…)
(La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la…)
(La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la…)

And one day, I will see you emerge,
From that defensive shell of yours,
And you'll show everyone your true self.
Because if everyone could only see what I do…

In miracles, in miracles, in miracles...

They'd understand why I try so hard…
Despite your constant rejections, your snaps,
Your biting and cruel remarks about my behavior…
It's because I see that beauty in you…

And when you finally decide to bring yourself out,
You'll walk like a lady in a sea of other girls…
You'll appear a goddess among mortals…
And you'll be mine. All mine.

I know I sound half-mad, half-erratic,
Like some lunatic on a sort of lost mind span…
And it could very well be that…
I think not, however. She keeps me straight.

One day, you'll see the world that awaits…
One of everlasting holiday…one of calm night…
A day in my world…no, in our world…
Our "place" of eternal bliss…

That day is just over the horizon.
Can't you feel it, Sheena?
If not, then you will soon…
I just know it's coming to you…

Because I believe in miracles, Sheena…
Because I believe in you…
