THE FIREPLACE
It is such a lovely thing that sits in the middle of the room
I slide the glass doors aside as I anticipate the ambiance soon
I get the kindling ready and stack it so neat
Put the logs around it so that they will all meet
I bunch up some newspaper and slide it down below
I reach for a match, strike it, and watch the flame grow
The newspaper catches first as the kindling follows behind
As the flames get bigger by the minute, I know it is a sign
There is no better romantic place, none greater than above
As the glowing gets brighter and the embers become a mass
Open your hearts, toast a cheer with a wine glass
Remember all the good times you will share from this day on
For your friendship will grow with every dusk and dawn
You will see it in their eyes and you will know what you missed
It will all come back to you when you share that first kiss
The memories will be incredible, you will see it in their face
To think it all started right here, in front of...
THE FIREPLACE
