Our Lives

Minnie Riperton


Any day now can't you see 
You'll be coming back to me 
Comin' back to where you wanna be 
And the time that you've been gone 
Will vanish like the song 
Sung by the rain when we were fast asleep 

And our days will be filled by the light of children's laughter 
All our nights will be touched by the glow of lover's songs 
Side by side in the sun we will build the world we're after 
Side by side we will lie when the day's good work is done 

Any day now can't you see 
You'll be sitin' here by me 
Laughing at the fools we used to be 
And the things that we've done wrong 
Will be now dead and gone 
Buried out beneath our apple tree 

And our days will be filled by the light of children's laughter 
All our nights will be touched by the glow of lover's songs 
Side by side in the sun we will build the world we're after 
Side by side we will lie when the day's good work is done 

I Love You
