This chapter says, "Put it out of ur mind & give it time"
The fine purple, the purest gold
The red of the sacred heart, the grey of the ghost
The "L" of the lips R open 2 the "O" of the host
The "V" of the velvet

Of all of the people N the world
Y should love U?
There's just something about U
There's just something about U
Of all the people N the world
Y should love U?

Have U ever seen a picture of Jesus laughing?
Mmm, do U think He had a beautiful smile?
A smile that healed

Of all of the people N the world
Y should love U?
There's just something about U
There's just something about U
Of all the people N the world
Y should love U?

Of all of the people N the world

The fine purple
The purest gold
The red of the sacred heart
The grey of a ghost
The "L" of the lips R open
2 the "O" of the host
The "V" of the velvet
The "E" of my eye
The eye N wonder
The eye that sees
The "I" that loves U

Of all of the people N the world {repeat}
Y should love U? {repeat}
