I was thinking just the other day,
What a fine, fine time we had.
Me in a thousand pictures every which way,
Smiles to beat the band.
That's us sinking in the suds,
In a clawfoot tub with views along the shore.
Being young, singing songs seemed fun,
These songs I sung I high 'em all on your door.
Let me break it down in simple pieces so
If our places changed you would always know
I felt the same.
Sun sets shadows getting long
There's a song there if only I can wait.
Verses come when they do from unknown sources,
But I'm grateful just the same.
So sign it loud and sing it true,
There's not much time and so much left to do.
We'll run it through one more time and call it done,
I need you near to finish this old song.
Fight my way through all these words and phrases that,
Tie my hands behind me make me wonder if
You felt the same.
You got it wrong you picked up the phone,
I heard you laugh your mom said "Who's that?"
