Weekend Getaway

I'll be quiet as I'm leaving I'll get you a latte Don't ask me why, there's a big surprise Awaiting you today I'll be back by 7 Be ready at the door Bring a little bag with you Some basics, not much more I've rented us a cabin A weekend getaway It's nestled in a valley A cozy place to stay It looks up at the mountains A frozen pond's nearby But we'll just view them from indoors It's much too cold outside I ordered up some hickory wood A large wood stove is there Blankets, pillows, satin sheets A big two-person chair Books galore, crosswords too We can just stay in Whatever you want I'll do it Either way I win A country farmer's market A yarn mill right next door In the mornings I'll get coffee From the little general store And if you're hungry tell me I'll bring back different things And then I'll take out two guitars We'll play but just you sing A wall-sized picture window Looks out on a deck At night the stars are countless Each one a tiny speck A brilliant, twinkling diamond Bright and crystal clear Gemstones representing My thoughts of you held dear And when the weekend's over When the clock says time to go I'll hope you liked the plans I made They were all for you, you know?
