Verse 1:
YOU GREET ME WHEN I GET HOME
AND THE STRESS I'VE ENDURED'S BEEN INTENSE.
YOU REMOVE WHAT THE WORLD'S PILED ON ME,
AND THE FACT THAT YOU CAN IS IMMENSE.
Chorus 1:
SO THRILLED YOU CHOOSE TO DO THAT:
THROUGH OUR LOVE YOU DISPEL ALL THAT FRICTION.
THE CLOSEST PHRASE DESCRIBING OUR LOVE STATE:
"LIKE IN GREAT WORKS OF FICTION".
Verse 2:
AND WHEN YOU ARE FEELING DOWN,
I REPLACE HAPPINESS THAT'S EBBED AWAY.
OUR MAINSTAY IS OUR MUTUAL SUPPORT
BROUGHT ABOUT BY OUR LOVE EVERY DAY.
Chorus 2:
SO THRILLED WE CHOSE EACH OTHER,
THRILLED OUR LOVE'S STRONG LIKE LOVE IN DEPICTION
IN PLAYS, TV, BOOKS, MOVIES.
OUR LOVE STATE: LIKE IN GREAT WORKS OF FICTION.
Sax Solo...................
Verse 3:
WE'LL GROW GREY TOGETHER,
AND LOOK BACK ON OUR LIVES ONCE IN A WHILE,
CONTENT WE GAVE WHAT EACH NEEDED TO HAVE;
WE WON'T STOP - WE'LL STILL GIVE 'CAUSE THAT'S OUR STYLE,
Chorus 3:
AND BE THRILLED WE CHOSE EACH OTHER,
THRILLED THAT LOVE'S STILL OUR SHARED DISPOSITION.
WE'LL REACH OUR OWN DENOUEMENT:
TIMELY GATE, LIKE IN GREAT WORKS OF FICTION.
