I guess just about the hardest thing to doWhen you're doing something like thisIs to find a new love song to singBecause they're almost always about one of three thingsRight, they're either the, ah, the guy meets the girlOr the guy loses the girl or the guy gets the girlWell I found this song and it isn't about any of those three thingsThis song is about two peopleWho have already known each other for quite a whileSo we're alone again tonightI read a book, you watch the fightA stifled yawn, a can of beerWhat an enthralling atmosphereAnd yet the sight of us this wayHelps me to say what I must sayIt helps me to think a thought or twoTo pass it right along to youAnd just for starters you should know I thinkYou've let yourself goDown through the years, each sage repeatsGrass never grows on busy streetsWhich might explain that balding spotWere you a thinker, which you're notAnd where's that slender youth I knewI fear he's grown an inch or twoNot up and down my joy and prideBut more precisely side to sideWhen at a party, now and thenYou tell the same old jokes againOr wear a lampshade for a hatWho could be wittier than that?With one too many you just mightPick some unnecessary fightThough in the morning with the sunYou can't remember what you've doneIf there's regret, it doesn't showYou know, you've let yourself goYou never care the way you dressYou stay unshaven, you look a messThe smallest thing is too much to doI even hold the door for youAnd every rose upon the shelfIs one that I've supplied myselfIt's not the same, I'm well awareYet I need to see them thereI don't know why I say it nowWhy I don't hold my tongue somehowBut I've this need to tell it allNo matter where the chips may fallFor as I sit and reminisceThere are so many things I missThe reassurance of your touchThe gentle smile that said so muchYou were my tender thoughtful beauI couldn't hate you if I triedAnd I still want you by my sideWe'll lay things on the linePerhaps the fault is really mineAnd if it is please tell me soA seed we planted, still can't growMaybe that's all we need to knowCome close to me andLet yourself go
