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,
Asked the waitress for a pen,
And one by one
She wrote down
What she wanted most
From him:
Chorus:
"Honesty, sincerity,
Tenderness and trust,
A little less time
For the rest of the world
And more for the two of us.
Kisses each morning,
'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 want him to leave behind.
But he never dreamed he'd open up
That napkin and find:
Chorus:
"Honesty, sincerity,
Tenderness and trust,
A little less time
For the rest of the world
And more for the two of us.
Kisses each morning,
'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".
Chorus:
"Honesty, sincerity,
Just like it used to be!
The way life was
When you were in love with me."
