Perfect Fit
For Emily

It’s quite simple, really
Our lives have intertwined
There’s no need to figure out
Which is yours and which is mine
Or distinguish between the time
Before we met and now
‘Cause I’ve always known you were out there
Somehow

Chorus:
And we lie in bed and talk for hours
About nothing and everything
Until our eyes announce last call
At the sky’s lightening
And you wrap yourself around me
Like ivy on a tree
Like the tide embracing the shore
After long months at sea
And somehow our bodies click and fit
Perfectly

This has all been new to me
Make it up and move along
Try to do the right thing
Apologize when I get it wrong
We laugh a lot, then laugh some more
Living in the midst of play
But I know even when I’m at my worst you love me
Anyway

chorus

Light a candle, read a book
Dream about our future plans
Walk together like old friends
Side by side and hand in hand
So we reach a new beginning
Even as we’ve come so far
I feel the mystery every time I wake
And there you are

chorus
