I would like to go back in time and be your wife not because I'd be the first lady but because I think you're charming
I know you were an unhappy man few marry old they say but I could have made you a happy man that laughed and danced and sang
And I would have recited Shakespeare with you let you read all the good lines you could've been Iago and Othello every time I would have done your shopping for you bought you your tall pants I would've been presently affectionate I would've put my hand in your long hand
and if I'd been on the balcony of Fords Theater when Mr. Booth came up with gun in hand I would've put my head in front of your head I would've put my head in front of your head
Abraham Lincoln I would like to go back in time and be your wife not because you saved the Union but because I think you're hot shit
I know you were intelligent telling stories all the time and I bet we'd have the same sense of humor we'd laugh until we cried
And I would have spent hours combing your hair putting every one in place but if you got nervous and messed it up it would have been okay
and we could have had messy hair together and we could have had beautiful children together but I would have been a perfect mother to Eddie and Willie and Tad and Robbert yeah I wouldn't of let them get the fever or smallpox or malaria
and if I'd been on the balcony of Fords Theater when Mr. Booth came up with gun in hand I would've put my head in front of your head I would've put my head in front of your head
and heck I wouldn't have made us go to the theater yeah we could've stayed home and eaten dinner and you could've resigned the presidency devoted the rest of your life to me
yeah we could have left Oh, Washington forever and we could have grown older and older together
but if I'd been on the balcony of Fords Theater when Mr. Booth came up with gun in hand I would've put my head in front of your head I would've put my head in front of your head
