Teddy bear honour

 

O teddy bear, O teddy bear,

where would I be without my teddy bear!?

Cuddled up in my bed,

the warm quiet moments we share; me and the bear.

 

You remind me of 'pure love,' of 'pure tenderness. '

You remind me of where Id forever like to be.

Forever at peace.

Forever at ease.

 

Riding on a boat on the deep ocean sea.

Feeling so comfortably.

My soul rest within thee.

Upon a magical sea.

 

We’ve got this secret understanding,

and "O how I love thee."

No one else around, just you and me.

Got a tender sweet way of being, the bear and me.

 

O teddy bear, O teddy bear,

without a sex, without a real name.

You and me somehow unite in the night,

and be same.

 

And what a funny old fellow indeed you are.

You’re so close and it seems you’ve travelled so far.

You know, I really don’t know exactly who you are, but all I know is that;

Funny things happen when you wish upon a star.

And I think I indeed wished up you.

 

The bear and me,

Me and the bear.

United in love,

Without a single care.
