Lyric
There’s a lady lyin’ in your arms, most ev’ry nightShe fulfills your dreams and holds you tightIs she pretty, does she love you like I do?And do any of the children look like you?If she’s good to you, then I could never hate herJust hold me close, and love me, and we’ll talk about it laterDoes he ever question, where you go, and what you do?Is he here with us, when I’m with you?Does he look at you, with feelings of distrust?And do you sometimes feel ashamed of us?This feeling that we found, could not be greaterBut, I love you and it’s okay, we’ll talk about it laterLying here together, there’s no words we need to sayJust one touch says more than we could talk about all-dayTime won’t make it go away, time just makes it greaterAnd as we go, we both know, we’ll talk about it laterAnd as we go, we both know, we’ll talk about it later
