the love of all

(my lyrics to Cat Steven's 'Father and son')

Here is you, here is me

and we're standing together

i love you,

you love me and we're happy

Run around, find a place

settle down, take it easy

we're still, we have time

and we both need to be free

One day,

we'll wake up

and decide to get married

if we don't

just be friends

there's alot out there to learn.

When we've found what we need

maybe we'll get together

in a week, we'll go out

and date again.

After that,

it's all gone

i hope to find a good man

so i can

settle in with him.

We'll go out

have some fun

have a drink and then get drunk

we'll get home

go to bed

then have a sleep.

In the morning

we'll wake up

and i know you'll be there to kiss

then i'll get up

make some coffee just for you and me

After that,

i'll lie back down

and fall asleep with you

and i knew in my dreams

i'd wake up with you too.
