Best Of Friends
Peter， Paul And Mary Lyrics

I'd like to take you by surprise at the grocery store
I want to surprise you and spend time with you doing everyday things like grocery shopping.

Grab you by the hand and step on the electric door
I want to take your hand and walk with you, even through the automated doors.

And leave the shopping cart right where it is
I don't care about the mundane tasks, I just want to focus on being with you.

I betcha somebody's got the same list
We are not alone in this world, there are others doing the same things we are.

I wanna take us away from all this to a distant shore
I want to escape from our everyday lives and travel to a far off destination where we can be together.

I'd leave the car by the curb with the motor on
I'm not concerned with practicalities, I just want to be with you and not waste time.

The tape deck playin' our favorite love song
Our favorite music brings us even closer together when we are traveling.

And you'd say, "What in the world?"
You might be surprised by my actions, but that's part of the fun.

And smile just like a little girl
Your excitement and joy bring out the childlike wonder in you.

And I'd say, "I can't tell you now but it won't be long"
I have something special planned for us and I can't reveal it yet, but it will be worth the wait.

Well, I know it sounds funny but it's true
I understand that my behavior can seem odd, but it's all because of my love for you.

I get so busy, I forget I'm in love with you
Sometimes I get caught up in the hustle and bustle of life and forget to appreciate our love.

And every now and then
Occasionally, we need to prioritize our relationship and take time to reconnect.

We need to get away to get close again
Spending time away from our daily routines helps us rediscover the closeness we share.

Up in the air in a window seat
Traveling and seeing the world from above is exhilarating and brings us closer.

Your head on my shoulder and a blanket around our feet
Being close and cozy with each other is one of the greatest pleasures in life.

We could leave the kids at home
It's important to have quality time away from the responsibilities of parenting.

And if you get worried we could telephone
Even when we're apart, we can stay connected and reassure each other.

We need a weekend of fun for under two hundred dollars complete
Having fun and spending time together doesn't have to be expensive, it's the time spent with each other that matters most.

There we would be in a sunny land
Traveling to a beautiful, sunny location would be a perfect way for us to reconnect.

We'd lie on the beach and you could wiggle your toes in the sand
Simple pleasures like feeling the sand between our toes bring us happiness and relaxation.

A tropical drink late at night
Enjoying a tropical drink together is a special and romantic experience.

And a midnight dip if the temperature's right
Jumping into the water late at night is invigorating and thrilling, especially when we share the experience together.

The best things turn out better if they never were planned
Sometimes the most special moments are the ones that occur spontaneously and unexpectedly.

And every, every, every, every, every now and then
It's important to remember to prioritize our relationship occasionally, not just once in a while.

We need to get away to get close again
Stepping away from our usual routines helps us refocus and appreciate our love for each other.
