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 yous at night.
Just like it used to be,
The way life was
When you were in love with me.
(Second Verse)
She reached across the table
And placed it in his hand
And said
You know this isnt 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 shed Want him to leave behind,
But he never dreamed hed open up that Napkin and find
(CHORUS)
Well he fought back the tears
As he looked in her eyes and said
I dont 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.
