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
an’ 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
well he fought back the tears as he looked in her eyes
an’ said i don’t know where to start
an’ she said everything on that list in your hand
is hidden somewhere in your heart
honesty sincerity just like it used to be
the way life was when you were in love with me
