Not What You See |
Wait a minute baby |
I’ll be right back |
I just gotta talk |
to a friend |
for a couple of minutes |
I see you looking |
at the two of us and what do you see |
the oldest couple at the Mayflower |
Esther and Me I push her in the chair |
I know she’d walk |
if she could |
she says «Take your pills» |
as if they do any good |
I’ll bet you think |
that what you’re looking |
at is all we are |
two old people forgetting |
the way we were |
Sonny, no one is what they look like |
everyone’s so much more |
Sonny, no one is what they look like |
and we’re not what |
you see that’s for sure |
You should have known her before |
you should have known her before |
legs she had legs |
that made the guys drool |
and her waist was as small |
as your neck |
and the face and the hair |
and the rest of her |
and when I look at her now |
I still see her young and beautiful |
she’s my girl and I’m her Joe |
and we’re not what you see |
In a minute baby I’ll be right back |
I just got some more to say |
to my young new friend here |
Esther just turned 80 and I’m 83 |
the oldest couple at the Mayflower |
Esther and me I knew that when I saw her |
we were meant to be one |
she says she didn’t notice me but don’t you believe her |
I’ll bet you think that what you’re looking at is all we are |
two old people |
stumbling through the days |
Sonny, no one is what |
they look like |
everyone’s so much more |
Sonny, no one is what |
they look like |
and we’re not what you see |
that’s for sure |
You should have known me before |
you should have known me before |
hair, I had hair the girls |
loved to feel and a built |
watch out Joe Poluka |
I could see I could hear |
I could run a mile |
and when I dream of us now |
I still see us young and beautiful |
she’s my girl and I’m her Joe |
and we’re not what you see |
I guess I better go now |
she’s my family |
the oldest couple |
at the Mayflower |
Esther and Me |
I’ll help her with her bath |
and then I’ll kiss her goodnight |
and sometime’s we dance |
in the early moonlight |
I’ll bet you think that what |
you’re looking at is all we are |
two old people |
watching the days go by Sonny, no one is what |
they look like |
everyone’s so much more |
Sonny no one is what |
they look like |
and we’re not what you see |
that’s for sure |
I’ll be right there darlin' |
