When I wake up in the morning lightHer eyes twinkling and smiling brightCrouched over me like a catWaiting to pounce on me Morning kisses and morning hugsThere&#8217;s no escaping this kind of loveDon&#8217;t try to struggle or to wiggle outShe&#8217;ll hold tight to you She&#8217;ll keep you prisoner with &#8230; <p class="link-more"><a href="https://doodlesofthemind.com/smothers-me-with-her-love/" class="more-link">Continue reading<span class="screen-reader-text"> "Smothers me with her love"</span></a></p>]]></description>
