Mr. Harris

So he's retired
lives with his sister in a furnished flat
he's got this suit that
he'll never wear outside without a hat
his hair is white but he looks half his age
he looks like Jimmy Stewart in his younger days.
[Chorus]
and honestly, I might be
stupid to think love is love but I do
and you've waited so long and
I've waited long enough for you.
My mother's calling
from where she's living up in Troy, Vermont
she tries to tell me
a father figure must be what I want
I've always thought age makes no difference
am I the only one to whom that's making sense?
[Chorus]
And honestly, I might be
stupid to think love is love but I do
and you've waited so long and
I've waited long enough for you.
The day I met him he was raking
in his tiny yard.
Of course I know that
we've only got ten years, or twenty, left
but to be honest
I'm happy with whatever time we get
depending on which book you read
sometimes it takes a lifetime to get what you need.
[Chorus]
And honestly, I might be
stupid to think love is love but I do
and you've waited so long and
I've waited long enough for you.
[Chorus]
honestly, I might be
stupid to think love is love but I do
and you've waited so long and
I've waited long enough for you.
