One Date Long

In California
You wanted me to join ya
For some Tom Yum Goong
We went to eat
A little place on Yucca Street
Became our favorite soon

Right from the start
We’ve never been apart
I don’t wonder why
Time suspended
That evening never ended
We never said goodbye

We just carried on
Because we got along
And since then our life has been 
One date long

In Pasadena
We bought a vacuum cleaner
And checked our horoscope
Met a little church mouse
At Charlie Chaplin’s house
The night that we eloped

We sang along
To our own theme song
And since then our life has been
One date long

The delicate tether
That ties us together
Sometimes we twist it and stretch it
A bit too tight

After two generations
Forty summer vacations
Defying all expectations
I guess we got it right

Remember the two of us
In a beat-up Beetle Bus
With everything we owned
One day we hung chiffon
In an empty hair salon
Our first New York home

Now we’re living’ large
Got a three-car garage
And too many rooms
I’m in the kitchen
Because I know you’re itchin’
For some Tom Yum Goong

One date long
One date long
Since the time we met our life duet
Is one date long

Since the time we met our life duet
Is one date long
