Friday at Half Past Six

Retro Pop Soul

A husband and wife once passed each other in the doorway between work shifts. Their Friday date became a small promise they tried to keep, whether that meant a night out or ten minutes dancing at home. Twenty-five years later, he is still the worse dancer and still asking her out.

“Opposite shifts, a battered dance-floor joke, and the Friday evening they still keep for each other.”

Lyrics

Lyrics from Friday at Half Past Six

You came home as I was leaving We would kiss beside the door You'd say, "Don't forget the milk, love" I'd come home with bread and nothing more There were weeks we barely saw us In the middle of the things we did So you circled Friday evening Said, "I'm booking you for half past six"

Friday at half past six I got a date with my wife Put the other plans on hold I've been waiting for you all week You can laugh You can laugh at the way I dance I know you're gonna take my hand Twenty-five years and you're still my favorite Friday at half past six

I remember that Italian place We'd been saving up to go You were wearing those red earrings There was plywood where the door should go So we ate two burgers in the car In the clothes we'd ironed at five You said, "Very fancy service" When I passed the paper napkins down the side

Friday at half past six I got a date with my wife Put the other plans on hold I've been waiting for you all week You can laugh at the way I dance I know you're gonna take my hand Twenty-five years and you're still my favorite Friday at half past six

Sometimes we couldn't make it Sometimes the week got in the way But I'd hear you start the music And the kitchen got a little more space Ten minutes just to find you Before we had to start again You put your head against my shoulder And I remembered who I am

Friday at half past six I've got a date with my wife Put the other plans on hold I've been waiting for you all week You can laugh at the way I dance I know you're gonna take my hand Twenty-five years and you're still my favorite Friday at half past six

I got your coat I got my keys Come on, darling Dance with me
