TV Light

Richard Shindell

6

Let's pull the plug on this old movie

We both already know the end

Any fool can see it coming

Garbo always gets her man

He acts as if he doesn't love her

She gives him an icy stare

He lets her think he loves another

She acts as if she doesn't care

Time is passing in the TV light

It's such a shame to waste another night

When there ain't nothing on the silver screen

Can hold a candle to you and me

I see this picture and I wonder

Will we let the years go by

Growing farther from each other

Though we sit here side-by-side

So I'll do the dishes in the morning

This time I swear I won't forget

I know it's still a little early

But I think it's time to go to bed

Time is passing in the TV light

It's such a shame to waste another night

When there ain't nothing on the silver screen

Can hold a candle to you and me
