I would pass up diamond rings and fancy furs
for a little home with linens labeled his and hers,
lacy curtains on the windows,
roses everywhere,
home sweet home above the mantle,
slippers near your chair.
And my dear,
before a year or two occurs,
we might know the joy that every newlywed
prefers.
Picture how you'll stand there beaming as
I put to bed a curly head who looks like
I can't give you diamond rings and fancy furs.
Just a little home with linens labeled his
and hers,
lacy curtains on the windows,
roses
everywhere,
home sweet home above the mantle,
slippers near your chair.
There we'll wait
until a great event occurs.
Then we'll know the joy that every newlywed prefers.
Picture
how I'll stand there beaming
as you put to bed
a curly head who looks like his and hers.
