Aimee Mann - 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.





And honestlyI 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 troyvermont


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?





And honestlyI 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 leaves


In his tiny yard.


Of course I know that


We’ve only got ten yearsor twentyleft


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.





And honestlyI 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.
