He said just think it over
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
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 "ya 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 shed 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
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"
Honesty, sincerity,
Just like it used to be,
The way life was
When you were in love w/ me
