Life’s A Pool 
©2007 David G. Harper

Summer skies, fireflies
This is how we prioritize
It’s all about balance …life is good so far
You and me, happily, raisin’ up this family
One disaster at a time
Everything will work out fine
Nothin’s turned out like I pictured it
So many ups and downs
But overall it’s a perfect fit

This is as good as it gets today
Baby that’s OK 
Long as I’m with you, 
All my dreams come true
Life’s a pool, love’s a breeze
A little swim is all we need 
Before we wake up
And do it all over again…

Mrs. Johnson, next door
Says the kids just trashed her Ford
Aw but its OK, nobody’s bleedin’
Here we go--get the checkbook
Shoes on, have a little look
Car’s alright I guess… 
But I don’t know about that bike
How’s your weekend goin’ so far? 
Sorry honey…
But what the heck, write the check
Hey it’s only money

Chorus

Nothin’ else matters
Unless it’s you and me
One love,
Just right,
A little house and a family, baby

Chorus
