We both work over forty-a-week
By the time it's all over
We're too tired to speak
There doesn't seem to be
A minute's time,
Alone for me and you
So come along with me
And help me realize this fantasy
Just take my hand and know
It will be all right
If only just for one night
We've always had
A lifetime of plans
Even though it often
Wasn't, in our hands
We tried our best for happiness,
The best that we could do
But every once in a while
I do anything I could
Just to see you smile
So come with me…
And share in my delight
If only just for one night
Don't think about the problems
Don't think about what's due
But just--for this evening
Push the burdens of the world
Aside for me and you
Reality comes back tomorrow
We start a forty-one more time
But now we smile…
In a fantasy delight
If only just for one night
If only just for one night
