As The Hours And The Days And The Weeks
He loved her and she loved him but her chance mighty slim
Of ever getting married to her man
They've been courting years and fixed the wedding day
She was two hours early and he was six months later
All day for him shell cry, her eyes are never dry
As the hours and and the days and the weeks and the months And the years roll by
She'll talk about a week, she stands there ankle deep
As the hours and and the days and the weeks and the months And the years roll by
They say better late than never, two birds of a feather Must get together
She's bought real posh underwear and said the maiden s prayer
As the hours and the days and the weeks and the months and The years roll by
The twin bed by her side is still unoccupied
As the hours and the days and the weeks and the months and The years roll by
Each night no hope at all, her face turned to the wall
As the hours and the days and the weeks and the months and The years roll by
They say better late than never, two birds of a feather Must get together
She complains it's so unjust, her trousseau full of dust
As the hours and the days and the weeks and the months and The years roll by
How she sighs and sighs and sighs, quite an outsize size in size
She seems to miss the things shes never had
When he said goodbye-ye he kissed her on the mat
That only set her longing for something more than that
Where they used to meet, she stands and gets cold feet
As the hours and the days and the weeks and the months and The years roll by
She says shes taken root, its growing through her boot.
They say better late than never, two birds of a feather, must get together.
Theres a wart upon her nose, good gracious how it grows
As the hours and the days and the weeks and
À Medida que as Horas, os Dias e as Semanas Passam
Ele a amava e ela o amava, mas a chance dela era bem pequena
De algum dia se casar com seu homem
Eles estão se cortejando há anos e marcaram o dia do casamento
Ela chegou duas horas antes e ele seis meses atrasado
O dia todo ela chora por ele, seus olhos nunca secam
À medida que as horas, os dias, as semanas, os meses e os anos passam
Ela fala sobre uma semana, ela está lá com os pés na água
À medida que as horas, os dias, as semanas, os meses e os anos passam
Dizem que antes tarde do que nunca, dois pássaros da mesma pena devem se juntar
Ela comprou lingerie chique e fez a oração da noiva
À medida que as horas, os dias, as semanas, os meses e os anos passam
A cama de casal ao seu lado ainda está desocupada
À medida que as horas, os dias, as semanas, os meses e os anos passam
Cada noite sem esperança, seu rosto virado para a parede
À medida que as horas, os dias, as semanas, os meses e os anos passam
Dizem que antes tarde do que nunca, dois pássaros da mesma pena devem se juntar
Ela reclama que é tão injusto, seu enxoval cheio de poeira
À medida que as horas, os dias, as semanas, os meses e os anos passam
Como ela suspira e suspira, um tamanho bem exagerado
Ela parece sentir falta das coisas que nunca teve
Quando ele disse adeus, ele a beijou no tapete
Isso só aumentou seu desejo por algo mais do que isso
Onde costumavam se encontrar, ela fica e sente frio nos pés
À medida que as horas, os dias, as semanas, os meses e os anos passam
Ela diz que está enraizada, está crescendo dentro da bota dela.
Dizem que antes tarde do que nunca, dois pássaros da mesma pena devem se juntar.
Tem uma verruga no nariz dela, meu Deus, como cresce
À medida que as horas, os dias, as semanas e...
