Yours for a Year

The wintertime has got to turn to April
In April, love came what May
Now I’ll lay my cards right on the table – ‘cause I want to love you each and every day
I’m expecting and suspecting when my hair turns gray that we won’t be in love no more
So now I’m going to say before the whole thing fades away
Let’s put an end to it a week before

And I’ll be Yours for a Year – that’s about as good as it gets
Yours for a Year- of kissing, hugging, squeezing and pets
Because it never does seem to last longer
After two you know it never grows stronger
When you decide that you just don’t belong here
We’ll let it move along without regrets

C’mon baby, make it snappy! Skip the movie and the candle-lit meal
I do my best to make you happy, but I’m too busy to remember how I feel
I’ve been a-faxing and a-phoning and e-mailing all day just to pull this company through
And if you ever get to feeling that we’re fading away, remember my commitment to you:

I’ll be Yours for a Year – that’s about as good as it gets
Yours for a Year – of kissing, hugging, squeezing and pets
Because it never does seem to last longer – after two you know it never grows stronger
When you decide that you just don’t belong here, we’ll let it move along without regrets

(Instru bridge)

A year ain’t made to last a lifetime, but it turns into three mighty quick
And the mortgage on the property is co-signed
And the ring around my belly’s getting thick
I’ve been reminiscing, wishing, missing you all day, so sue me if I’m not that deep
But we made it to our second anniversary today, and once again this pledge I keep:

I’ll be Yours for a Year, that’s about as good as it gets…
(twice, second time with the last 2 lines:)If you decide that you just don’t belong here
I’ll say you ain’t seen nothing yet! I’ll say you ain’t seen nothing yet!
