Atkins, Rodney - Honesty lyrics
rate meHe said, "Just think it over
And write me a list
So we can figure out what we both deserve"
She hardly could believe it
That their love had come to this
Dividing an' deciding his and hers
But she grabbed a paper napkin
Asked the waitress for a pen
An' one by one, she wrote down
What she wanted most from him
Honesty, sincerity
Tenderness and trust
A little less time for the rest of the world
And more for the two of us
Kisses each mornin'
'I Love You's' at night
Just like it used to be
The way life was
When you were in love with me
She reached across the table
An' placed it in his hand
An' said, "You know this isn't easy for me"
As he thought about the new car
The house an' the land
An' wondered what that bottom line would be
An' a thousand other things
That she'd want him to leave behind
But he never dreamed
He'd open up that napkin and find
Honesty, sincerity
Tenderness and trust
A little less time for the rest of the world
And more for the two of us
Kisses each mornin'
'I Love You's' at night
Just like it used to be
The way life was
When you were in love with me
Well, he fought back the tears
As he looked in her eyes
An' said, "I don't know where to start"
An' she said, "Everything on that list in your hand
Is written somewhere in your heartâ€
Honesty, sincerity
Just like it used to be
The way life was
When you were in love with me
