He said "just think it over, 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 and deciding his and hers But she grabbed a paper napkin, Asked the waitress for a pen And 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 morning, 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 and placed it in his hand And said "you know this isn't easy for me" As he thought about the new car, the house and the land And wondered what that bottom line would be And 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 morning, 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 faught 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
