lyrics
Nine months to the tears when you go off for four years
to the place where no one has a head
I see you in confidence whispering cheers
to the kid with no license to wed
Why can't you stay
My heart's gone away
A love so sweet should not end
Ask, if I may, what the wise man will say
of events that you do not attend
You could be my favorite girl
We've got all the time in the world
Nine months to the hour of our very first night
with no one to shut us down
I look to the sky and I caught your eye
by now we don't fool around
Why can't you stay
My heart's gone away
A love so sweet should not end
Ask, if I may, what your mother will say
of the weddings that you don't attend
You could be my favorite girl
We've got all the time in the world
Nine months to the minute of a life come to pass
for new ones and old ones born
Your vision they mimick, the sky is the limit
We're too happy to mourn
Why can't you stay
My heart's gone away
A love so sweet should not end
Ask, if I may, what the reverend will say
of the funerals you do not attend
You could be my favorite girl
We've got all the time in the world
