I'm wishin' instead, I could stay in bed With you cuddled close to me We're long on love, but short on time We may get another penny ahead, but our hearts fall further behind Wish I had a few more hours in the day, Or I could make this clock unwind 'Cause we're long on love, but short on time The coffee's perkin', and soon we'll be workin' Watchin' that clock on the wall, trying to hurry every minute For the work day to finish, and the five o'clock hammer to fall About a quarter after five, we'll be pullin' in the drive And pullin' down a curtain or two, and turnin' off the phone 'Cause some overtime at home has been way overdue We're long on love, but short on time We may get another penny ahead, but our hearts fall further behind Wish I had a few more hours in the day, Or I could make this clock unwind 'Cause we're long on love, but short on time 'Cause we're long on love, but short on time 'Cause we're long on love, but short on time
