Dm Shad

ow wife, my

A best

and first,

Bb Now

that we’re no

A long

er cursed.

Bb Some

times still I

F fear

the

Dm worst

:

Our

Gm marr

iage wrecked, still a

C born

ing.

From the day no longer barred,
Must old habits die so hard?
It’s so nice out in the yard.
It’s eight o’clock in the morning.

Db Sun

light hubby,

Cm fair

and proud,

E Must

you always

Ebm sing

so loud?

I

E stayed

up dancing

Ebm with

the crowd

So

E very

G late

at the

B par

ty!

Nothing made you leave at ten.
The fun had barely started then.
But I met several other men

Whose night life habits are

G he

a

D rty

.

Evening lady, none too bright,
Did you have to dance all night?
I thought today we’d fly a kite,
And picnic down by the stable.
It’s lovely by the lake today.
There’s lots of outdoor games to play.
You mustn’t sleep the day away,
But greet it now that you’re able.

Morning person, fit and hail,
So bright-eyed and bushy tailed,
We’ve tried before and always failed,
With outings like those you’re proposing.
Fly a kite indeed, you lout!
Sunlight brings my freckles out.
Now’s no time to be about,
When I would rather be dozing.

Love and longing, truth and lore.
Passion-rich and wisdom-poor.
Careful what you’re wishing for,
Or lead miserable lives ever after.
When some power heard our prayer,
Why were we so unaware
Our problems would not all end there
And turn sorrow into laughter?

Are we

Gm hap

py ever

C aft
