You don't know how I've enjoyed these past few hours
The candle light the dinner and the drinks
Your lips were never quite so warm and tender
I hold you close and I can't help but think

If I lived here I'd be home now
I'd take off my shoes lie down and just relax
If I lived here I'd be home now
But I don't and he does and he'll soon be coming back
[ steel ]
I wish that was my name on your mailbox
I could play and tussle with the kids
We'd all dress up for church on Sunday morning
Oh why did he meet you before I did

If I lived here I'd be home now
We could stay like this forever and a day
If I lived here I'd be home now
But I don't and he does and I'd best be on my way
