Practical Arrangement (Ft. Jo Lawry) (Full Original Duet)

I asking for the moon?Is it really so implausible?That you and I could soonCome to some kind of arrangement?I'm not asking for the moonI've always been a realistWhen it's really nothing moreThan a simple rearrangementWith one roof above our headsA warm house to return toWe could start with separate bedsI could sleep alone or learn toI'm not suggesting that we'd findSome earthly paradise foreverI mean, how often does that happen now?The answer's probably neverBut we could come to an arrangementA practical arrangementAnd you could learn to love me, given time[Jo Lawry]Well, I like my independenceI get by, I'm not greedyDo you see yourself as Galahad?Do I really look that needy?I brought a child up on my ownTakes me all my strength to face himThe father upped and left meAnd I'm not desperate to replace himTell me what kind of catchIs a struggling single motherI respect you and I like youBut I won't accept anotherEmpty promise when some greyAnd stormy rain cloud hangs above meWhen I've heard it all a hundred timesFrom a man who said he loved meBut if we came to an arrangementA practical arrangementThen perhaps I'd learn to love you given timeI'm not promising the moonI'm not promising a rainbowJust a practical solutionTo a solitary lifeI'd be a father to your boyA shoulder you could lean onHow bad could it beTo be my wife?With one roof above our headsA warm house to return toYou wouldn't have to cook for meYou wouldn't have to learn toI'm not suggesting that this propositionHere could last foreverI've no intention of deceiving youYou're far too cleverBut we could come to an arrangementA practical arrangementAnd perhaps you'd learn to love me given timeIt may not be the romance that you had in mindBut you could learn to love meGiven time
