With two cats in the yard.  Life used to be so hard.

Now, everything is easy 'cause of you----.  Ooooo-waaa...

 

La, la, la, la, la, la  [vocal "la la" vamp under instrumental verse]

 

Come to me now, and rest your head for just five minutes,

Everything is done.

Such a cozy room; the windows are illuminated

By the evening sunshine through them.  Fiery gems for you, only for you.

 

CHORUS:

 

D              D/C#

I'll light the fire.

D/B           D/A            G             Bb/F     D

You place the flowers in the vase that you bought today.
