And one by one she wrote down what she wanted most from him
And more for the two of us
Kisses each mornin', I love you's at night
Well, he fought back the tears as he looked in her eyes
But she grabbed a paper napkin, asked the waitress for a pen
She hardly could believe it, that their love had come to this
Kisses each mornin', I love you's at night
And said, "I don't know where to start"
Is written somewhere in your heart"
But he never dreamed he'd open up that napkin and find
Just like it used to be

Honestly, sincerity, just like it used to be
And wondered what that bottom line would be
She reached across the table and placed it in his hand
A little less time for the rest of the world
Honesty, sincerity, tenderness and trust

Just like it used to be
And said, "You know this isn't easy for me"
And she said, "Everything on that list in your hand
And more for the two of us
And a thousand other things that she'd want him to leave behind
The way life was when you were in love with me
Honesty, sincerity, tenderness and trust
Dividing and deciding his and hers
The way life was when you were in love with me
A little less time for the rest of the world

The way life was when you were in love with me

As he thought about the new car, the house and the land
