Dedicated to the memory of Earl & Helen Brown

Proposal
(Words & Music by Keith Brown)
 
 
I know it's quite unusual to ask you this this way,
But I'm here, you're there, Lord, I'd like to say this to your face,
So I am writing you this letter wondering what you'll say,
And wishing I could just be there to say this to your face.
 
But Helen, won't you marry me and be my wife?
Helen, won't you marry me today?
Helen, won't you marry me and be my wife,
And I swear we'll only see the brighter days.
 
Days been going by and I don't know where my mind's been,
But I need you and you need me so why should we pretend?
Answer me if you agree that love is finally here,
And tell me that you'll have me and you'll keep me through the years.
 
But Helen, won't you marry me and be my wife?
Helen, won't you marry me today?
Helen, won't you marry me and be my wife,
And I swear we'll only see the brighter days.
And I swear we’ll only see the brighter days,
Yes, I swear we’ll only see the brighter days.
 
Now won’t you hear what I say girl?
I’ve been thinking about you all night and day.
 
Now hear what I say, oh baby, don’t turn away,
Well, can’t you see now lady,
I’ve been thinking about you all night and day?
