I would sow a thousand buttons A thousand buttons on your sweater To make you feel better  I would build a thousand ladders A thousand ladders tall So you would never have to feel small  I would plant a thousand daisies A thousand daisies deep Just to keep you near  I would blow up a thousand balloons A thousand balloons to blow Just so you would know I'll never let you go  I would do all these things I would do them for you  I would kiss a thousand monsters A thousand monsters in all So you would know I'm not afraid anymore  I would eat a thousand worms A thousand worms stuck in the dirt So you would never have to hurt  I would break a thousand bones A thousand bones to break Please your love don't ever take  I would invent a thousand colors A thousand colors to see Then paint a picture of you and me  I would do all these things I would do them for you  I would catch a thousand ants A thousand ants in the sand Promise you'll always hold my hand  I would read a thousand books A thousand dusty pages To see you make one of your silly faces  I would hoot with a thousand owls A thousand nocturnal friends Please don't ever let this story time end  I would jump a thousand hops A thousand hops to jump I know this love will never stop  I would do all these things I would do them for you A thousand ways to say I love you
