Always and Forever

I wake up each morning

Heartbeat like a drum

I want you, darling

I think you’re the one

You go downstairs

And start some coffee,

Let the dogs outside

I roll over and close my eyes

And dream of you for a little while

I finally wake up

You’re right out the door

We need more creamer,

We always need more

I weed the garden take a breath

And realize that it’s you

You’re the reason that I feel alive,

The reason that I do what I do

You come through the door now

You kiss my face

You always do that

You leave a trace

Of cigarettes and sweet regrets

That you are always doing

The foxhound finally takes a nap

The coffee is done brewing

The foxhound finally takes a nap now, baby

we can finally catch our breath now, can’t we?

Come this October I will be yours

Forever darling when you come through that door

Oh, close your eyes and picture us growing together

Tomorrow is like yesterday we are always and forever
