Humor me for a moment now, take a walk through my mind
you may be surprised at what you find
there is some jealousy and some insensitivity
those you'll just have to forgive
there is some laziness there is some loneliness
the rest is just craziness for you
I don't profess to know everything sometimes I act
like I do
I just want you to be everything so why can't you

Ten years from now what will you see when you recall
the memory of you and me today
will you see that I lost my temper and you lost your
nerve did we lose each other for good
my feelings contradict it and reason can't explain it
and I hoped maybe you could

I plead insanity but that could be ancient history if
we could just let this lie
my case is simple see, guilty though I may be, let's
not make this goodbye
possibly it was meant to be possibly not but let's
wait and see no need to decide that today

Ten years from now what will you see when you recall
the memory of you and me today
will you see that I lost my temper and you lost your
nerve did we lose each other for good
my feelings contradict it and reason can't explain it
and I hoped maybe you could
well I said that I had had enough and you said you had
seen enough and now, now I know that I can't get
enough of you
so come on let's go on to the future now, and leave
the past behind
the past is eating us alive

Ten years from now what will you see when you recall
the memory of you and me today
ten years from now who will you see when you lie awake
at night remembering me
ten years from now who will your lover be
