Still My Favourite Part

You wrote my name above your score With a pencil you had borrowed I sent two balls straight down the side Trying to ask about tomorrow You said, "You ought to watch the lane" I said, "I'm doing all right" Natalie, you laughed so hard We stayed another game that night

I still forget what I was saying When you look at me that way

You're still my favourite part Of a Friday, of a day Of the life we keep on making While the plans get rearranged You can find me in the middle Of a hundred things to do And I still want to drop them all To spend an hour with you

Owen's building half a castle Out of cardboard on the floor You're holding up the crooked roof I'm sent out to buy some more He says, "Please stop all that kissing" Like we're putting on a show You reach for me behind his back And I hope he always knows

There's a reason we keep laughing When the evening goes off course

You're still my favourite part Of a Friday, of a day Of the life we keep on making While the plans get rearranged You can find me in the middle Of a hundred things to do And I still want to drop them all To spend an hour with you

You said, "Let's go out on Friday" I had almost said, "I'm tired" Then you stood there in the doorway And I found I'd changed my mind I don't only love our story Or the way we used to be I love hearing what you're thinking When it's only you and me

You're still my favourite part And I want another day With your shoes beside the front door And your coat across my chair Natalie, I'm still the man Who couldn't watch the lane If you've got another hour I'd stay another game

I'd stay another game You're still my favourite part
