My Never-to-be Wife

Take this love of mine, just for a while
It will keep you warm, across the miles
You can keep it near for when you're cold
Take it on your trips around the world

And you can send it back, anytime
Or maybe try and sell it for a dime
I'm sure that I won't need it, anyway

You can hide it your garret, like an old chair
Maybe your grandchildren will find it there
And ask you about this faded little thing
Lying around to remind you of an old flame

And I will say some stuff I'll regret
But you know we are just like babies when there's something we can't get
So here's my final offer to my never-to-be-wife
Just take this pointless loving and keep it all for life
Oh keep it all for life
And you can
And you can send it back, anytime
