Sheila
I will never make you stay awake
At 7pm on a Saturday evening
I’ll have you sleep the boredom away
That yawns at you every time we’ve finished dinner
I’ll smile it off, when you tell me
It’s been a long day. Let’s have a rest. Four hours
Soon, I tell myself
Already next Saturday I will be beautiful and slim and interesting
I’ll be worth a chat over a glass of wine
I’ll make you laugh and you’ll make me smile
And before you even realize
We two stayed up for a while

Sheila
I will never make you stay awake
At 7pm on a Saturday evening
I’ll have you sleep the boredom away
That yawns at you every time we’ve finished dinner
I’ll smile it off, when you tell me
It’s been a long day. Let’s have a rest. Four hours
Soon, I tell myself
Already next Saturday I will be beautiful and slim and interesting
I’ll be worth a chat over a glass of wine
I’ll make you laugh and you’ll make me smile
And before you even realize
We two stayed up for a while
