in the morning Robin always woke up early in the kitchen she'd make the coffee pack his lunch and then she’d kiss him and he would hold her tight when they were newlyweds he’d say maybe and she would laugh they knew they’d have another baby she'd slave away all day until dinner was ready and they would dance so slow to 'just the way you are' it was a good, good year
all the decades and the years have passed not every family is built to last no time can take away these memories remember when you said to me that we'd be all right
disco couldn’t survive with the dream police and rock n roll high blondie brought (?) a 'heart of glass and mom and dad bought their first house in 1979 it was a good, good year.
