Mr. Harris

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 made 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 whichever 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
