HE SAID
JUST THINK IT OVER
AND WRITE ME A LIST
SO WE CAN
FIGURE OUT
WHAT WE BOTH DESERVE
SHE HARDLY COULD
BELIEVE IT
THAT THEIR LOVE
HAD COME TO THIS
DIVIDING
AND DECIDING
HIS AND HERS
BUT SHE GRABBED
A PAPER NAPKIN
AND ASKED THE WAITRESS
FOR A PEN
AND ONE BY ONE
SHE WROTE DOWN
WHAT SHE WANTED MOST
FROM HIM
HONESTY
SINCERITY
TENDERNESS
AND TRUST
A LITTLE LESS TIME
FOR THE REST OF
THE WORLD
AND MORE
FOR THE TWO OF US
AND KISSES EACH MORNIN'
I LOVE YOU'S AT NIGHT
JUST LIKE IT USED TO BE
THE WAY LIFE WAS
WHEN YOU WERE IN LOVE
WITH ME
SHE REACHED ACROSS
THE TABLE
AND PLACED IT
IN HIS HAND
AND SAID
YOU KNOW THIS
ISN'T EASY FOR ME
AS HE THOUGHT ABOUT
THE NEW CAR
THE HOUSE
AND THE LAND
AND WONDERED
WHAT THAT BOTTOM LINE
WOULD BE
AND A THOUSAND
OTHER THINGS
THAT SHE'D WANT HIM
TO LEAVE BEHIND
BUT HE NEVER DREAMED
HE'D OPEN UP THAT
NAPKIN
AND FIND
HONESTY
SINCERITY
TENDERNESS
AND TRUST
A LITTLE LESS TIME
FOR THE REST OF
THE WORLD
AND MORE
FOR THE TWO OF US
AND KISSES EACH MORNIN'
I LOVE YOU'S AT NIGHT
JUST LIKE IT USED TO BE
THE WAY LIFE WAS
WHEN YOU WERE IN LOVE
WITH ME
WELL HE FOUGHT BACK
THE TEARS
AS HE LOOKED
IN HER EYES AND SAID
I DON'T KNOW
WHERE TO START
AND SHE SAID
EVERYTHING
ON
THAT LIST IN YOUR HAND
IS WRITTEN SOMEWHERE
IN YOUR HEART
HONESTY
SINCERITY
JUST LIKE IT USED TO BE
THE WAY LIFE WAS
WHEN YOU WERE IN LOVE
WITH ME
