Don't pack your bags come stay awhile

You're an angel when you smile
Complimenting the person, describing them as an angel when they smile.
Now together up we stand
Expressing unity and togetherness, standing together.
By my side now hold my hand
Asking for physical closeness and support by holding hands.
We'll go somewhere you thought could never be
Exploring new and unexpected places together.
Who knows where this river goes

Just hold on to me, hold on tight

Eventually we're homeward bound

With all the treasure we have found
Celebrating the valuable experiences gained during the journey.
Just take what we have learned and let it show
Encouraging the partner to share and demonstrate the lessons learned.
Now off we go
Repeating the phrase "Off we go" as a mantra for moving forward.
Off we go

Feel my hands as they pull
Inviting the partner to feel the speaker's care and support.
And give what makes you comfortable

Let me take off your disguise

And see the world behind your eyes
Expressing a desire to understand the partner's perspective.
From me there is no need to hide
Assuring the partner that there's no need to hide from the speaker.

Signaling the end of the day and the need to part ways temporarily.
The night approaches don't you know
Highlighting the approach of a challenging or dangerous time.
It's not safe to be exposed
Advising caution and the need for protection.
