They played the game of what the future might bring
He asked her what she wanted to be
She asked him the very same thing
He said he really didn't know what he wanted to be
He liked to sail but didn't want to be a sailor
She said she had never given that question much thought
She liked to be around kids so maybe she could be a teacher
They went back and forth all afternoon
Carpenter, Doctor, Fireman, Priest
Dogsitter, Wonder Woman, Poet, Tycoon
She said it wouldn't be a bad life if she became a Lawyer
Though she never thought she looked good in a pantsuit
He said he might do well as a Wall Street Stock Broker
Though he never thought he could handle the commute
All I really wanted to be though, she finally said with a smile
Was a good person who hasn't lost the hope of her dreams
Of enjoying the carefree beachcombers lifestyle
All he really wanted, he admitted, was a home with a view
That included palm trees, gentle waves breaking on the shore
Magenta-streaked sunsets and you
