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
