lyrics

What do most women want
To have and to hold someone while growing old
And have some fun before getting old
Beyond that who knows

What does this woman want
To be on her own and not be alone
And have some fun before getting old
Beyond that what do I know

Who will be the one to take hold of you
And at just the right time
Make your dreams come true

I wish I could live on the ends of your hair
I'd dance on your neck
With never a care
And when the evening falls
I would whisper in your ear
Sleep soundly, sleep softly
I'll always be here
And when the morning falls
I would still be there
Dancing on the strands of your hair

And I have just one confession to make
I'm only there on Sundays
To see your face

So what does this man want
To know and be known
To have and to hold
And have some fun while growing old
Beyond that who knows

You've never given me any reason to think
That I'd ever be more than a customer at your store
But sometimes I wish I were more
I'd be a good friend, stick with you to the end
What else could I offer?
To such a beautiful bartender

about

SimplyEsoteric St. Louis, Missouri

A life of many moments packed into years. A moment of many years packed into song. A song of wonder and desire conjured from a heart too old for its time and too young for it's age.
