Description

Family zone

Well hello how your life can be ever changing

In your head you find yourself rearranging

Tear those cabinets out, move the stove over here

Put a patio door out the back seems I have no fear

I’m looking at the way I kept most everything

Some bring smiles, and some don’t do anything

I don’t know why they’re still taking up space

But it’s time to start making it a useful place

I used to just toss my hat

Where it landed is where it sat

I grew tired of a life of being alone

My singles pad is now a family zone

I’m anxious about making sure before I christen

This new ship in my mind, that I turn an ear to listen

I’m not the only one that should be deciding what to do

So excuse my gushing thoughts I can’t wait to live with you

I’m certain you have been thinking about what to move

What to toss, what color to paint, I’ll bet you have a groove

That will carry the house from room to room making it our home

Somewhere to be happy to return no matter where we may roam

I used to just toss my hat

Where it landed is where it sat

I grew tired of a life of being alone

My singles pad is now a family zone

I’m so happy for us, our day will finally arrive

I’m so filled with joy, babe I’m happy to be alive

Like having your favorite custard from Kopps’ in a cone

That never ends, yeah that’s my life in the family zone
