I'm For Awhile

(album: Borderline - 1987)

I don't want our love to be like a song
Just long enough to hang a memory on
I want tomorrow's sunrise to be for us the dawn of history
I'm not a one night rider
Bed and breakfast ain't my style
I'm for awhile

Here today, here tomorrow
Here when the babies are grown
Believe you me, in the 21st century
You'll still have me for your own
Trying to make you smile
I'm for awhile

I guess you could say
I'm coming on to you
But it's a long term proposition
I'm here to love you

And love should be forever
Please understand my position
I'm not much like the lone ranger
Disappearing ain't my style
I'm for awhile

Here today, here tomorrow
Here when the babies are grown
Believe you me in the 21st century
You'll still have me for your own
Trying to make you smile
I'm for awhile

I don't want our love to be like a song
Just long enough to hang a memory on
