Lyrics - Aisle Two

Six months ago, maybe more
I was walking out the stage
Looked up and saw your face
Oh right-- we work in the same place
You were surprised too, and kinda grinned 
That made me anxious
You walked me to the store, I wondered if I'd been a bore

(chorus)
Cuz every time I see you
Look up into those eyes so blue 
I try to hide it, but it's so hard to do
My face betrays me with its ruby red hue
Let's stay awhile, keep on dreaming 
Here, in aisle two

Fast forward a few weeks, and we're both there now
Standing in the produce aisle
Scoping out vitamin C
You say something bout organic oranges
I was pretty sure it was completely wrong so I checked with a biologist friend of mine 
And it was, but I didn't mind then and I still don't now 

Cuz every time I see you
Look up into those eyes so blue 
I try to hide it, but it's so hard to do
My face betrays me with its ruby red hue
Let's stay awhile, keep on dreaming 
Here, in aisle two

I just can't stand it
You've gotta see
I like the way you pick your celery 
I like you standing here, next to me 
Let's move an aisle over and pick out a few ingredients 
To bake our house, of gingerbread 
Just sweet enough for you and me

********************************************
One day I'm buying oranges 
when I hear someone softly say my name
I smile, it's been a while 
But you're back in the frame 
We wander over to the section I prefer 
I wonder, if you're still with her
It'd be so nice to take you out for tea
But standing here too is okay by me

Cuz every time I see you
Look up into those eyes so blue 
I try to hide it, but it's so hard to do
My face betrays me with its ruby red hue
Let's stay awhile, keep on dreaming 
Here, in aisle two

Lyrics - Meditation

Every morning, when I rise
I pray the Lord might be my eyes
There's so much good I don't realize
Help me to see

Next I ask, oh, when I wake
Won't you please my heart just take
Do it now, for my sake,
Help me be free
Again

Finally with my tea
I ask for just a word 
Or maybe three
Seems today I need you here
With me

************************************

The sun is setting, I sit right down and
Make a list of all the reasons 
I needn't frown
I've got plenty of good food to eat 
And family so sweet
But there's still something out there 
I've gotta meet

Lord, is there still time today?
Whaddaya say?
