She said "Lift me up I need To get that box down from the attic The one with all the letters And the cards that you once sent me." He replied "I can't right now This crappy picture is all static The game's already started And I'm trying to fix the TV." She said "How's about a nice night out Some dinner and a movie? We could drive along the beach road Stop and kiss beside the sea." He said "Sorry, not tonight dear You know I'd really like to, really But the briefing is tomorrow And I've got more work than you'd believe." He said "Hon, c'mon outside Let's watch the sunset from the back deck I've opened you a cold one Turned the bug lamp on for safety." She yelled "Hey now, can't you see This here house is a complete wreck A pot roast's in the oven And I've got to fold the laundry." In the darkness of a still night hour He whispered to her shadow He said "Girl, you know I love you You're so warm and sweet and lovely." She turned and gave a hidden grin And moved a little closer She said "Shut your mouth you big old goof And put your arms around me." |
