Take My Hand And I’ll Show You The Stars (8tracks Playlist)

Romance is an adventure. Every single second spent being romantically involved with someone is a new frontier that brings new promise. Sometimes I think of that one girl I care oh so very much for and find myself wanting to ask her to take my hand so I can show her the stars. I want her to hold my hand as I take her to places she has never been to. I want to show her new beautiful sights more beautiful than all of the world’s painted masterpieces. I want to show her new experiences that will spice up her life. At times I want to take that one special girl and take her on the adventure of a lifetime, an adventure that would rock her world, an adventure in which she has never been taken to before. Meeting that special someone is the sweetest thing in the world, every moment is to be cherished, every second is meant to be grateful for. Love is the adventure of a lifetime. So I shall ask you, please take my hand and let me show you the stars.
