Am I asking for the moon Is it really so implausible That you and I could soon Come to some kind of arrangement I'm not asking for the moon Of always be the realest When is really nothing more Than a simple real arrangement With one roof above our heads A warm house to return to We could start with separate beds I could sleep alone I'll learn to I'm not suggesting that be find some earthly paradise forever I mean how often does that happen now the answer's probably never but be good come to an arrangement a practical arrangement and you could learn to love me given time I'm not promising the moon I'm not promising a rainbow Just the practical solution To a solitary life I'd be a father to your boy A shoulder you could lead on How bad could it be To be my wife With one roof above our heads A warm house to return to You wouldn't have to cook for me You wouldn't have to learn to I'm not suggesting that this proposition here could last forever I've no intention of deceiving you if I too clever But we could come to an arrangement A practical arrangement And perhaps you'd learn to love me given time It'd mean not be though roles that you had in mind But you could learn to love me Given time
