Continental Farewell - Hal Ketchum

Moonlight in the curtains love in the air

A bouquet of roses on the floor

Your perfume mingles with cigarette smoke

Dom Perignon at the door

Two star crossed lovers in candle light

Bathe in the afterglow

I’d like to stay here and talk all night

But one of us has got to go

Your money’s on the dresser adios

If you’re looking for love you ain’t even close

It’s been a honeymoon

But I may chew my arm off soon

Your money’s on the dresser adios

I know you’re happy here in my arms

Waiting to feel Cupids bow

But if you keep talking there’ll be a gun in mouth

In another 10 minutes or so

Seems I was finished a good while back

Clearly you’re not finished yet

You’re painting rainbows, I’m fading to black

Don’t get me wrong me wrong dear just get

Your money’s on the dresser adios

If your looking for love you ain’t even close

It’s been a honeymoon

But I may chew my arm off soon

Your money’s on the dresser

No I’m not your confessor

Your money’s on the dresser adios
