Love on the Phoneline

A hockey game A fountain The 4th of July And the rest of our lives She came in from California On a cold November night The hockey game was crowded All the fans were acolytes Your voice came in a whisper The only thing I heard Hot dogs and nachos fall to the floor I can't think anymore Our eyes locked as we were leaving Hardly know you but I need you I thought it be forward to ask you for your email So I asked my uncle to ask your brother You went back to California I really missed you 1am chats on yahoo messenger On a dialup connection We talked about everything We talked about nothing I logged in everyday To see what you would say We fell in love on the phone line I knew your heart was all mine I was a wild horse roaming, She was a flower just blooming. Tamed to a lover's nest We all know the rest Now its 1am diaper changes Exhausted midday exchanges Family cuddles on the bed The dog's butt is by my head Kids are growing up too fast If I can only make it last Time is not your friend Just try to hold his hand As long as you can Cause one day He'll be falling in love on the phone line Losing his heart to his Valentine We got married in India on a Humid December Day We got married again in Texas on a Cold Hill Country Night Then we did it again… On the San Francisco Bay… With a baby on the way… The Town hall lady Said "where are your vows?" Said "we've done this twice before Many years ago" We gotta catch the ride to Embarcadero… Then years later… On a busy afternoon Utility company called… 4th time married on the Phone… She said "Do you young man? Give this lovely young woman Access to your… Utility account?" I said "Yes, I do With all of my heart As long as she turns off the lights… When she leaves a room…" Then she said: "Do you young lady? Take Responsibility? For paying for all of this guy's Electricity?" Then my love said.. "Yes, I do… I do love you.. But when my feet get cold… Don't leave me out to dry.. Get under the covers… Kick that dog off the bed… And keep my feet warm… The other voice on the phone said "I now pronounce you legally bound By the power Of your Electric Line" Expect a Bill in the mail… They say 3rd Time's a charm I say 4th is even better! I say let's buy a farm far away from the world Let's get some chickens Some horses and sheep And some peaches we'll keep Next time the phone rings Let it go to voicemail…
