For Once in the Life of a Miser Lyrics

I'd bite five more bullets

To keep you from walking out on me

I'd stand on your shoulders

To stop rain from splashing your skin

I'd take you out dancing

I'd map out the optimal outing

I'd thrice check the forecast

I'd plan every word that we'd say

For once in my life

I'm more than certain it's right

Cause life's not been so hard these days

It's changed since it began

And life's not been so hard today

I've found a trusted friend

And if you stay by me

Though now there's not much I can offer

In your time of passing

I'll do for you all that I can

And when you are ailing

I'll stay by the side of your sickbed

If you don't pay your taxes

I'll cleverly hide your accounts

For once in my life

I'm more than certain it's right

Cause life's not been so hard these days

It's changed since it began

And life's not been so hard today

I've found a trusted friend

For once in my life

I'm more than certain it's right

Cause life's not been so hard these days

It's changed since it began

And life's not been so hard today

I've found a trusted friend

And life's not been so tough these days

I stand up right on time

My vision's much more clear these days

With you in my mind's eye
