Song Description

a song about love?

Lyrics

it all started at a party
well, it was natural enough
there's a boy & there's a girl
and the two fall in love

some time later in the paper
a brief announcement told the news
make their life as man & wife
just one more pair of shoes
just a boy & a girl
and one more pair of shoes

chorus

first there's one, then there's two
first there's me then there's you
just a touch then there's more
but then who's keeping score?
love is fresh at the start
like the beat of a heart
with a love so deep
and a promise to keep


Monday dawning, early morning
behind the shades the week begins
eggs & soldiers wait below
home-made buns in a tin

some time later in the paper
a brief announcement told the news
of a child, full of smiles
just one more pair of shoes
eggs & soldiers wait below
and one more pair of shoes

chorus

kettle singing, doorbell ringing
the kids are playing in the yard
laundry blowing in the wind
collie dog standing guard

I'm not asking for an answer
life is mysterious enough
some you win & some you lose
that's the game we call love
some you win & some you lose
and just one more pair of shoes
