Lyrics
Lyrics from Another Dance in the Kitchen
Rachel, rain was on the rented chairs Your brother moved the cake inside We said our vows beneath the porch With half the neighbors standing by Now your dress is at your mother's And my good shoes lost their shine But you still turn around and smile When I come home at half past nine
Fourth floor, no elevator Two bags hanging off one arm You take the heavy one without a word And tell me how your day has gone
Save another dance in the kitchen for me Move that chair, let the radio breathe We got a whole year under our feet And I still can't keep my hands off of you Let the big nights wait, let the phone ring twice You in those socks is my Saturday night Rachel, one year in and here we go One more dance before the dishes, nice and slow
February was a double shift A dinner cold beneath a plate I thought you'd gone to bed already You said, I wanted you to wait Not for candles, not for flowers Just a minute on the couch You'd got the job you thought you'd never get And I almost missed you finding out
So I learned to put the phone down You learned when to let me talk Neither one of us can fold that fitted sheet But we laugh until we have to stop
Save another dance in the kitchen for me Move that chair, let the radio breathe We got a whole year under our feet And I still can't keep my hands off of you Let the big nights wait, let the phone ring twice You in those socks is my Saturday night Rachel, one year in and here we go One more dance before the dishes, nice and slow
I used to picture married life As something we would figure out But tonight you pull me by the sleeve And I like what we're still learning now
Save another dance in the kitchen for me Move that chair, let the radio breathe We got a whole year under our feet And I still can't keep my hands off of you Let the big nights wait, let the phone ring twice You in those socks is my Saturday night Rachel, one year in and here we go One more dance before the dishes, nice and slow
Leave the dishes, leave them till tomorrow Come here, Rachel, let me hold you close
