'Twas One Real Cold Morning

Twas one real cold morning and all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse
I had to be at work early so I hopped in the shower
The hot water so nice, I stayed a whole half an hour

When all of a sudden there arose such a clatter
Nate sprang from the bed to see what was the matter
Apparently my shower had caused so much steam
That the fire alarm had started to scream

He dashed to the hall, longing for his cozy bed
While Frankie and Oscar immediately fled
Faster than fast he silenced that thing
Back to bed in a flash, and gently snoring

I pulled on my clothes and started drying my hair
Packed my bags, ate my toast, and got over the scare
Kissed Nate on the forehead and out the door I flew
For work never stops and I had plenty to do

And on my way, in my car, I remembered the days
When hour after hour we'd be together, always
When I'd get to school and find out where he was
And follow him around like a puppy dog does

Now alone with my thoughts and my thermos of joe
I sip and remember the days I liked most
And vow to work hard so I can get outta that place
And come right back home and see Nate's handsome face
