Mr. Harris - Aimee Mann

So he’s retired

Lives with his sister in a furnished flat

He’s got this suit that

He’ll never wear outside without a hat

His hair is white but he looks half his age

He looks like Jimmy Stewart in his younger days

And honestly

I might be stupid to think

Love is love, but I do

And you’ve waited so long

And I’ve waited long enough for you

My mother’s calling

From where she’s living up in Troy, Vermont

She tries to tell me

A father figure must be what I want

I’ve always thought age made no difference

Am I the only one to whom that’s making sense?

And honestly

I might be stupid to think

Love is love, but I do

And you’ve waited so long

And I’ve waited long enough for you

The day I met him he was raking leaves

In his tiny yard

Of course I know that

We’ve only got ten years or twenty left

But to be honest

I’m happy with whatever time we get

Depending on whichever book you read

Sometimes it takes a lifetime to get what you need

And honestly

I might be stupid to think

Love is love, but I do

And you’ve waited so long

And I’ve waited long enough for you
