lyrics

How We Want to Live
Written by Lisa Bastoni
(c) (p) 2019 Sweet Ondine Music (BMI)

We sent them off to school with the last of the summer peaches
Backpacks light and empty and their eyes full of dreams
With a wave and a sigh, as we turned to go inside
I said, “Did you ever think we would hear the house so quiet?”

Chorus:

We said we’d wait until the fall
Don’t look now but here we are
Are we ready to decide how we want to live

All your life you have heard the same advice
Don’t go with the girl from the broken home
That was years ago, when you took a chance on me
You said you needed to feel loved - I said I needed to feel free

Chorus

When we send them off to college, or work, or war, or marriage
They’ll have backpacks full of visions of how love’s supposed to be
Well, it’s harder than it seems, but I hope that they will see
The times I was there for you, and the times you left the light on for me

Chorus

Together or apart, tell me what’s inside your heart
Oh, we can wait until the spring
I think we’ll be alright til then

Chorus
