| We buy the morning paper we read the sports and arts
|
| We avoid the front page and the business section breaks our hearts
|
| The obits are of interest since soon we’ll have to go
|
| But what’s unreal is the real estate it’s a real horror show
|
| There’s no way we can sell our house now so we’ll have to stay
|
| You can’t up and walk out on me
|
| And I can’t run away
|
| We vowed in sickness and in health
|
| That means good times and bad
|
| Let’s hold on to each other
|
| And the happiness we had
|
| Our bed should be a lifeboat now not a battlefield
|
| Let’s not give up let’s just give in let’s not stop let’s just yield
|
| Forgive me dear for saying so
|
| Please don’t think I’m a louse
|
| But maybe it’s a good thing we can’t sell our house
|
| Suppose we found a buyer we could go our separate ways
|
| And consider all our time together just a passing phase
|
| But we would lose each other dear and I’m afraid we’d find
|
| It was the best part of ourselves that we had left behind
|
| I bought this house 8 years ago you made this place our home
|
| We loved and fought and laughed and cried tears in our eyes have shone
|
| Our house has lost some value due to this hard time
|
| But selling it and splitting up would be the greatest crime
|
| We had our share of heartache before these times got tough
|
| The road’s been a bit bumpy and the ride a little rough
|
| Death will part us one day in life’s game of cat and mouse
|
| Till then let’s stay together no we can’t sell our house
|
| We’re in for the long run now I’m speaking as your spouse
|
| Our happiness is here at home
|
| We can’t sell our house |
