Our House

I just called to say
That I walked by our house today
What I really mean to say is that I saw a house and thought of you
Then I thought of you and I together with a dog… or two
I saw the swing set in the yard and thought wouldn’t it be grand
It’s near the beach, we could go for long walks in the sand

I walked by our house today
And I think I really must say
I enjoyed planning the first barbeque in the yard
And I knew I’d love working on the house even when it got hard
There are shutters on all the windows, I know you like that
And if you twisted my arm, I ‘d even let you get a cat

I walked by our house today
And I guess my thoughts really got away
I already had the wallpaper selected
And the first addition designed and erected
Before I realized my fantasies weren’t real
And even the best of paints can peel
And that what will make our house last forever
Is for the two of us to work together
