Honesty lyrics

He said: `Just think it over, and write me a list,
`So we can figure out what we both deserve.`
She hardly could believe it, that their love had come to this:
Dividing an` deciding his and hers.
But she grabbed a paper napkin, an` asked the waitress for a pen.
An` one by one, she wrote down what she wanted most from him.

`Honesty, sincerity,.... tenderness and trust.
`A little less time... for the rest of the world,
`And more for the two of us.
`Kisses each mornin`, `I love you`s` at night,
`Just like it used to be.
`The way life was... when you were in love with me.`

She reached across the table... an` placed it in his hand,
An` said: `You know this isn`t easy for me.`
As he thought about the new car.., the house an` the land,
And` wondered what that bottom line would be.
An` a thousand other things that she`d want him to leave behind,
But he never dreamed he`d open up that napkin.. and find:

`Honesty, sincerity,... tenderness and trust.
`A little less time... for the rest of the world,
`And more for the two of us.
`Kisses each mornin`, `I love you`s` at night,
`Just like it used to be.
`The way life was... when you were in love with me.`

Well, he fought back the tears,... as he looked in her eyes,
And` said: `I don`t know where to start.`
And` she said: `Everything on that list in your hand,
`Is written somewhere in your heart.

`Honesty, sincerity,... just like it used to be.
`The way life was when you were in love....... with me.`
