to the grocer i run
to find the best sandwich buns
and the finest wine to see
on the budget that i heed
no time to matter on the childs nose
she'll wipe it her own
"we must run now it's time to leave
throw that purple dress on i just sleeved"
to the barbershop i take little john
so much like his father i admire
his cute little cheeks perked up in a smile
makes me fall in love all over again with his father
two babes on my hips as i stole the wiles
one ham, two loaves, a bag of potatoes
yogurt, milk and five tomatoes
and two candles for mom and dads own table
coming close to five o'clock
i put on the crock ***
put the stove on for this monday night dinner
the side soup on just a simmer
coming close to six
I give my husband a quick fix
of beer and wine for me as we sit
"What a day" he whispers, looking at me
"What a day.." i said, looking back at him.
"..henderson said Johnny had hair just like yours
when he used to cut it. and pat gave
the girls two pink bows in line when we were at the grocer
But the girls next door, as we were washing potatoes
said they have never seen a girl so happy
and I asked why? (you know I'm so gossipy)
They said, 'Why Sophie, your love shows right on your face'"
I could hardly look my husband in the eye
"you've got one hell of a place"
