I'd like to take you by surprise at the grocery store

Grab you by the hand and step on the electric door

Leave the shopping cart right where it is

I betcha somebody's got the same list

I wanna take us away from all this to a distant shore.



I'd leave the car by the curb with the motor on

The tape deck playin' our favorite love song

And you'd say "what in the world?"

And smile just like a little girl

And i'd say "i can't tell you now but it won't be long."



Chorus:

I know it sounds funny, but it's true...

I get so busy i forget i'm in love with you

And every now and then we need to get away to get close again.



Up in the air in a window seat

Your head on my shoulder and a blanket around our feet

We could leave the kids at home

And if you get worried we could telephone

We need a weekend of fun for under two hundred dollars complete.



(chorus)



There we would be in a sunny land

We'd lie on the beach and you could wiggle your toes in the sand

A tropical drink late at night

And a midnight dip if the temperature's right

The best things turn out better if they never were planned.



(chorus)
