Mr Harris Lyrics

Mr Harris lyrics

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 honestly, I 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 Troy,
Vermont
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 honestly, I 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
years, or twenty, left
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 honestly, I 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.
