Last Plane to Lisbon

I’ve kissed you half a million times in the backseat of my dreams
In my head you’re hand in hand with me
I must have watched a million times my scripted movie scenes
Where we fall in love and things wind up perfectly
But a girl doesn't need a boy whose name is in lights
When there is someone else out there for her who can come home every night
A girl should never have to miss her man -
So settle down with a loving boy who'll put a diamond on your hand…

I wish that I was selfish enough to beg you, "please, take my hand and destroy your life with me"
But just like Bogey’s classic lines on Casablanca’s screen; I love you, girl, enough to let you leave
Still I die a bit inside every time I think about your smile - but I smile knowing I'm dying just for you
I wonder when you’re lonely do you think of me awhile?
If you’re wondering the same, well girl, I do - I always think of you

I can be your Woody Allen if you’ll be my sweet Diane
We can kiss beneath Manhattan stars if you say that I’m your man
I’ll be the bravest lion and we can walk this yellow road
I hear there’s one more plane for Lisbon - let’s go
I’d love to beg you, Princess, to come and be my bride
But we’d collapse like Rhett and Scarlett running like Bonnie and Clyde
So I’ll drink the poison water so you think that I have died
And I won’t drag you through this wandering, lonesome, world of mine

I wish that I was selfish enough to beg you please, take my hand and destroy your life with me
But just like Bogey’s classic lines on Casablanca’s screen; I love you, girl, enough to let you leave
So I dress you up in Tiffany’s in my streetcar of desire
Where you’re the Audrey Hepburn starlet in my mind
But when I awake I'll paint my face and end it all in fire
Only to dream again that night that you were mine

There’s one more plane for Lisbon and you’re boarding it with him
Here’s one more last goodbye I guess this is how it ends
Here’s the last plane to Lisbon so I’ll fake a smile as you climb aboard with him
And kiss you softly in my mind  - here’s lookin’ at you kid…
