I overheard a conversation
Down at the diner tonight
A boy told a girl she was his whole world
And he'd love her till the end of time

It reminded me of you, and the

At a table for two with a romantic view,
He said: "There's somethin' that you need to know.
"I don't usually date, so if I hesitate,

A farmer on a tractor
Plowing in the field
Doing all he can to increase the yield
But the more he raises
The more the price goes down

Back when we had nothing
That was when we had it all
We were so in love it almost hurt
Now you're staring at the TV
While I'm staring at the wall
And I'm hurting now

I’ve had love and love’s had me
I’ve been held and been set free
And I have lived enough to know
That you might stay or you might go
So here I am one more time

You could've walked along a back road
Or on a lonely stretch of beach
You could have sat there on a park bench
A sunday paper

Don't tell me the reason that you're calling

You're wantin' me to say I'm barely

So she can’t go out tonight again
Her sister’s sick, she’s gotta baby-sit
Yeah, that sounds like a pretty good excuse

Now you didn’t hear any of this from me

In the pale neon light of a Saturday night
You'll see him walk up to the bar
He'll size up the ladies, the "no's" and the "maybe's"
Till he finds one who'll let down her guard

Well you thundered into my life like a steed out of control
Tried to rope my heart and tie me down with a little band of gold
And i hate to break

Ten days too late you show up
With a sheepish grin and a bouquet in your hand
You make mistakes by the dozen
But don't think you can make it up the same way again

Throwin' pictures out the window
Scattered by the way the wind blows
Bye bye baby that's the last I'll see of you

Shoebox full of old love letters
I'll tear each on
