Lyrics
My Life With You
Chorus:
Why when you’re away do I miss you
Is it just because I can’t kiss you
Is it dishes in the sink, or the lack of a wink
Or just because I love my life with you
Verse 1:
I ran with you through our high school halls, you’re the prettiest girl there ever was
Annie darling, you’re so sweet, and I’m so glad we had the chance to meet
You caught my eye and you held my stare, I haven’t broken it yet for over fifty years
Thanks for letting me lay by your side and all those kisses every night
Chorus:
Why when you’re away do I miss you
Is it just because I can’t kiss you
Is it dishes in the sink, or the lack of a wink
Or just because I love my life with you
Verse 2:
We stared ourselves a family, the boys they came one two three now,
They have little ones of their own, half of them are halfway grown
I followed you around the world, I still think you’re the prettiest girl
I got to dance with my best friend, so I’m the luckiest man that’s ever been
Chorus:
Why when you’re away do I miss you
Is it just because I can’t kiss you
Is it dishes in the sink, or the lack of a wink
Or just because I Love My Life
Chorus:
Why when you’re away do I miss you
Is it just because I can’t kiss you
Is it dishes in the sink, or the lack of a wink
Or just because I love my life with you
