Happy Endings

I held out for perfection

An utopia that didn’t exist

For that I nearly lost my love

To a dream that couldn’t be

And a vision  that wasn’t real

In a perfect world

I’ll wake up to you in the morning

Every day, till the end

I’ll come home to you tonight

And every night hence

In a perfect world

We’ll build a picket fence

Raise two chocolate miniatures

A couple golden retrievers

And grow old together, hand in hand

I’ll die in your arms

And you in mine

Then we can carry on as always

In a next life, in another universe

Only in a perfect world

But nobody’s promised a happy life

Or a happy ending

So I’ll take tonight

And tomorrow too

The rest I’d leave to providence

And God, wherever he may be
