We were riding the train
Through the tunnel of light.
We were making our way back home
Through the city at night.

We had been to a party or two,
Gotten into a fight,
Laughed it off a later on
At the end of night.

Lay your head upon my shoulder
I’ll run my fingers through your hair
Save your loving for your lover
I’m just happy that you’re there

On a bench in the park
Eating lunch after work
Watching old ladies do Tai Chi
And sharing dessert

You rubbed the sleep from my eyes
I fixed the hair from your face
You stick your fork in my thigh
And ask if I want a taste

I put my head upon your shoulder
You run your fingers through my hair
Pretty soon we’ll be much older
But I don’t really care

Put your head upon on my shoulder
I run my fingers through your hair
Save your loving for your lover
I’m just happy that you’re there
