Lyrics

Lying in bed we had a passionate fight
She turned away, I turned off the light
Graceless words taking their toll
Careless of cost to body and soul

So tonight we just count the hours
Come tomorrow use all of our powers
She?ll light the candles, I?ll bring home flowers
We?ll keep counting our lucky stars

Love isn?t a trade or a deal you clinch
You don?t get nothin? if you don?t give an inch
We?ve been bruised trying to make a change
Can happen to you, too, it isn?t anything strange

So tonight we just count the hours
Come tomorrow use all of our powers
She?ll light the candles, I?ll bring home flowers
We?ll keep counting our lucky stars

There are things you can?t handle, try all of your powers
Still she lights the candles, I bring home the flowers
People get lost, that?s just life
Making their way through struggle and strife
Don?t want a miracle or no lottery win.
Just hoping that someday our ship comes in

So tonight we just count the hours
Come tomorrow use all of our powers
She?ll light the candles, I?ll bring home flowers
We?ll keep counting our lucky stars

Gotta keep on counting?your lucky stars
