Jamie and Lilly

Well Jamie gets home from work
Puts a record on
Fixes up the dinner
Waits for Lilly to come
She's been teaching all day
She's got papers to mark
She agrees with the kids
When it comes to homework
But there's a veggie lasagna
Left from last night
She could warm it up
Do a little salad on the side
She lays the table
Pours two glasses of juice
She hears her coming up the stairs
Her key goes in the lock
Then Lilly gets home from work
Kicks off her shoes
She smiles at Jamie and it lights up the room
She's just back from the hospital
Another double shift
She knew that nursing wasn't gonna be easy
But she wasn't expecting this
In fact the only thing
That got her through today
Was knowing she'd be coming home to Jamie again

Dancing round the kitchen
Time is standing still
And for a moment we forget about
The worries of the world
Teaching and nursing
It's been a really long day
But Jamie and Lily count their blessings all the same

The rent in Brighton
Isn't cheap
Which is annoying because
That's where they live
And that's all Jamie wanted
When she was growing up
To move to Brighton
Find a girl and fall in love
That's exactly how it happened
When she met Lilly
Love at first sight
And the rest is history
Jamie went to work
To help pay for Lilly's training
They toughed it out together
Both scrimping and saving
Until that final day
They're both fully qualified
Now just like Jamie
She's working all the time

Dancing round the kitchen
Time is standing still
And for a moment we forget about
The worries of the world
Teaching and nursing
It's been a really long day
But Jamie and Lily count their blessings all the same

Well, teachers and nurses
Are the fabric of society
And they deserve to be treated like royalty
So that's how they treat each other
Jamie and Lilly
Because love stays true while the world goes crazy
Oh, love stays true while the world goes crazy
