Shall We?
Shall We?
Shall we put the kettle on
Shall we make a cup of tea
Would you like to watch our favourite film ~
We could snuggle on our old settee
Shall we light the open fire
Should we scatter cushions on the floor
Should we cuddle up with our smelly dog
And live what our hearts most desire
Can we just have an early night
And read each other poetry
´Til our eyes are heavy and we no longer
Wish to fight the need to sleep
Can we play spoons
While gazing at the moon
Pulling funny faces
And travelling to far out places
I’ll buy tickets to eternity
You don’t have to pay me
But if you insist ~
I’ll settle for a gentle kiss
Shall we play forever more
Just you and me behind closed doors
Until we are ready to go out
And rest beneath the forest floor.
