Page Nine |
| Would you really come and live with me |
| We can watch TV when the nights are cold |
| And it’s hard to sleep |
| When I’m hungry, when I’m old |
| When I’m angry, when I’m cold |
| Honey, I don’t know |
| Would you really come and take my cares away |
| Set me down in an easy chair and stay a while |
| Child, that’s a righteous thing you do |
| To make somebody just this happy |
| Like you done me to |
| I can see the years go down |
| You and me, we’ll paint the town |
| Lord, if my mama and my papa could see me now |
| I’m great at building castles in the air |
| And living there for days — you’d be amazed |
| I live in dreams and when I can |
| I go to sleep and there I am and there you are |
| When I’m hungry for the taste |
| Of loving you and your embrace |
| It’s hard to wait |
| 'Cause I’ve been waiting here so long a time |
| But if you say it’s right, honey, I don’t mind |
| We got all the years ahead |
| Time for everything we said |
| Lord, if my mama and my papa could see me now |
| I’d be happy living in a shack |
| With all the plumbing in the back |
| But you might not, you know |
| So maybe we better have a home |
| I’d be glad on a farm with a million dogs |
| Or a cave with bats |
| But you wouldn’t like that |
| Maybe we gotta have a home |
| Will you really come and live with me |
| I’d be so proud |
| In loving you, I’m loving me |
| I make it funny and I make you laugh |
| 'Cause it makes it easy getting past |
| All the being scared |
| I can see the years go down |
| You and me, we’ll paint the town |
| Lord if my mama and my papa could see me now |
| Oh lord, if my mama and my papa could see me now |
