It's in your eyes, kissing your eyes
I leave on my way to take you up night
My love my love I'll give you a ride
My sweetest dream, you'll be my wife
Don't waste life, don't waste time on me
I'll build you a house, girl you'll be mine tonight
Come on, what you got, what you got?
Don't give up life
No I'll leave you up there, leave you dry
No I'll give you I'll give you forever life
Give you all of my life, be my wife
Don't save yourself, come waste your time on me
Build you a house if you'll be mine tonight
Don't waste your love, don't waste your time on me
I'll build you a house, you'll be mine tonight

    General Comment:Actually it's to Ashley (his current wife). And after this was recorded...they got married. So, for once...Dave got his wish.

    General Comment:I was wondering the same thing. Since it is probably from his earlier years, I'm guessing it's to Julia Grey. HA! She's got to be kicking herself in the ass everday for not letting him build her a house. It would have been huge! Anyway, I think that this is just another song of Dave wanting something that he can't have... Ms. Grey

    General Comment:I wonder if this song is another song about Julia Grey, or to his wife now. Anyone know?
