agree  dawn39 (X): :)
2 hrs
  -> thank you, dawn39 - Mike :)

agree  louisajay: smother with kisses is fine but I wouldn't recommend saying "eat you" without adding something cute like "eat you all up" as otherwise it's a colloq ref to oral sex...
3 hrs
  -> I agree, and that is why I said I prefer the first choice, "smother ..." The reason I included it at all is because it was in Oxford, but you are right, by adding "all up" it removes the interpretation of oral sex. Thanks for pointing that out. Mike :)

"From Me To You"
(A. Parker / S. Evans)
I always wanted a love of my own
I always wanted someone to take me home
I hope and pray that my dreams will all come true
I always wanted this love from me to you

**I’ll smother you with kisses**
and I’ll grant you all your wishes
and I’ll treat you with the warmth I have in mind
I’m gonna love you with all of my might
I’ll hug and squeeze and kiss you every day and every night

I always wanted a love of my own
I always wanted someone to take me home
I hope and pray that my dreams will all come true
I always wanted this love from me to you

Now when the lessons over
I’ll find a four leaf clover
and I’ll give you everything your heart desires
I’m gonna show you how sweet it can be
and I’ll convince you that the only one you need is me

**I’ll smother you in kisses**
and I’ll grant you all your wishes
I’ll squeeze in tears and hurt and plead
again and again and again

I always wanted a love of my own
I always wanted a someone to take me home
I hope and pray that my dreams will all come true
I always wanted this love from me to you

I always wanted a love of my own
I always wanted a someone to take me home
I hope and pray that my dreams will all come true
I always wanted this love from me to you

I always wanted this love from me to you
this love from me to you.
===========================
Have a nice day!
