Shhhhhh…do you hear that?
A zillion heart beats…rapid in time
Cupid’s drum, each beating singing in rhyme

However, you are four hundred miles away
Cupid’s drum beats far and near
Some say even in the distant
It’s unmistakably clear

The mating call of my heart to yours
Beats uncontrollably, rings loud
Yet whispers softly, lovingly
Stands tall, and oh so very proud

Yet, should our love become lost, heart beating for you, yearning for you dear
I’ll fire three shots
So Cupid can find me here

If that doesn’t work
If cupid doesn’t hear
I’ll fire three more
For my love to come near

And finally while I anxiously await
I’ll follow the straight and narrow
In hopes that cupid joins us soon
As I’m down to my last arrow
