"Our Lives"
(Minnie Riperton / Rudolph)

Any day now, can't you see? You'll be comin' 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 lovers' souls...
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 sittin' 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 lovers' souls...
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...

Any day now, can't you see? You'll be comin' 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...
