Dear Francis

Dear Francis
You and I have grown apart
Is there nothing left we can do?
Dear Francis
We have fallen off the track
Can there be no hope of rescue?
Shall we close the book on these 20 years
As if they'd never been?

But, oh, Francis, what were we thinking
When we made our pledge to be true?
Two crazy kids who hadn’t quite thought things through

Dear Francis
We started pretty well
In our tiny flat, don't you think?
Dear Francis
Even though the times were tough
We sure laughed a lot, didn't we?
Did our union somehow turn to sour
While we looked the other way?

But, oh, Francis, what were we thinking
When we made our pledge to be true?
Two crazy kids who hadn’t quite thought things through

Dear Francis
It may look as if the deck
Has been stacked against you and me
Dear Francis
Don't you know that nothing worth having
Even comes easily?
"Too short on cash, too long on kids"
Have we let it come to this?

But, oh, Francis, what were we thinking
When we made our pledge to be true?
Two crazy kids who hadn't quite thought things through

Dear Francis
I wouldn't still be here
If I didn't think we'd get through
