Intro
=====
I left a note each day under your pillow 
That I wrote in invisible ink 
All you have to do is breathe on them 
And you might read them written there in pink 
You might find out what's inside me 
Maybe it's something that might amuse 
As you watch my words appearing 
The fear will go 
And everything will flow

I'm hoping you don't throw my little notes away 
I wouldn't blame you 
After all, there's nothing they appear to say
