Honesty (Write Me a List)

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 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
