Lovers disappoint each other in time The protestations of eternal love Those breathless kisses on a summer night - They leave no lipstick on a shopping list Lovers disappoint each other in time The protestations of eternal youth When even the sell-by dates have faded away From the shopping lists of our yesterday We mourn the lips we’ve kissed, the lips we’ve missed But still… Would you leave lipstick on my shopping list?

Your Lipstick on my Shopping List
Lovers disappoint each other in time The protestations of eternal love Those breathless kisses on a summer night - They leave no lipstick on a shopping list Lovers disappoint each other in time The protestations of eternal youth When even the sell-by dates have faded away From the shopping lists of our yesterday We mourn the lips we’ve kissed, the lips we’ve missed But still… Would you leave lipstick on my shopping list?
(Dang, that's sappy...!)
