Oh god, you look so awful

I hope my face won't give my shock away

You look so thin

And look at all those ugly splotches

On his face

What do I say?

What do I say?

So, should I ask him a question?

Like does he think he's gonna make it through this time?

I don't wanna upset him

Maybe I should keep it light, trite and benign

What do I say?

What do I say?

Well, I could talk about the weather

It's really been quite warm for mid-December

I can't say that I really miss the snow

But they're saying a cold snap's on its way here

But then again, what do those weather people know?

What do I say?

What do I say?

I'll talk about my life

Well, I guess I've been doing

Prеtty well

And I'm liking my job

Okay

And I'm planning to go to Florida for the holiday

And I've been working outsidе, that feels great

Maybe next week I'll up the wait

But for several nights I've been hankering for my ex

Hey, is it okay to talk about sex?

'Cause I've been alone for so long

I just get so sick of it

Gee, would you just listen to me?

How important is all this?

What do I say?

How could this be happening to you?

I feel like smashing all the bed(?) and tossing trays of food, and ripping up those tacky gowns, and pulling out tubes, sending all those doctors flying with my old deadly one-two

And after all the havoc

When things had settled down

I'd work those scientists 'round the clock

Until a cure was found

That's what I'd do

That's what I'd do

That's what I'd do

Now I look at you and remember that day in June

When we shared a lazy Sunday afternoon

There you are, all stretched out and lying in the sun

Grinning ear-to-ear

Looking out on Walden Pond

There you are, reading bits of Emily Dickinson to me

While we sip upon our chamomile tea

And such singing we did that day

From lullabies to Broadway

Oh, there you are

I watch you while you're lovingly listening to me

I go rambling on, just hoping it will keep you near

You'll know I fell free enough to say

How much I was loving you that day

You're so wonderful and funny and brilliant

So alive

There you are

But here you are

Tonight

What do I say?

What do I say?
