ODE TO OUR LIFE

I GOT YOU AND YOU GOT ME,
TOGETHER WE'LL BUILD A FAMILY.
WITH CATS, PUPPIES, AND HAMSTERS ALIKE,
WE'LL GET AN IGUANA AND CALL HIM SPIKE.
WE'LL TEACH OUR PETS TRICKS AND GO ON THE ROAD,
WE'LL BE MILLIONAIRES BY THE TIME WE ARE OLD.
WE'LL SIGN AUTOGRAPHS AND BE BIG STARS,
YOU'LL GET TO BUY A BRAND NEW CAR.
WE'LL OWN ONE OR TWO OR MAYBE THREE,
WE COULD BUY A BOAT FOR SAILING AND SET OUT TO SEA.
WE'LL SWIM WITH THE DOLPHINS,
SOAK UP THE SUN,
WE'LL SHOP 'TIL WE DROP 'TIL THE DAY IS DONE.
WE COULD CLIMB THE HIGHEST MOUNTAIN,
OR CAMP OUT BY THE LAKE,
WE COULD MAKE THAT PERFECT BIRTHDAY CAKE.
WE COULD WATCH THE SUN RISE AGAINST A PERFECT BLUE,
THERE IS NOTHING THAT WE CAN'T DO.
ONE DAY WE'LL GROW OLD,
AND ALL WE'LL HAVE IS US,
NO PETS TO CLEAN UP AFTER,
NO ONE TO CAUSE A FUSS.
WE'LL SIT THERE IN OUR ROCKING CHAIRS,
WITH GOLD IN OUR TEETH AND SILVER IN OUR HAIR.
WE'LL COUNT OUR BLESSINGS, THINK OF ALL WE'VE DONE,
AS WE SIT SILENTLY HOLDING HANDS,
WE'LL WATCH THE SETTING SUN.
