lyrics

Cousins at Funerals

I’m always meeting my cousins at funerals.
We’re always saying we should get together,
but we never do – we never do.
We’re always swapping our telephone numbers,
sharing memories of childhood summers
forever blue, forever blue.

Someday you know, this is going to be me and you.
Someday you know, this is going to be me and you.

You get married and you move away,
the distance grows a little every day
and you never call, you never call.
You settle down and you raise your kids,
you still dream, but you keep it hid,
and you have a ball – or so you tell them all.

Someday you know, this is going to be me and you.
Someday you know, this is going to be me and you.

You go back when the old folks die,
the rooms are smaller when you walk inside
than you ever knew, than you ever knew.
You shake hands and you say hello,
you look like your dad 20 years ago,
well, so it goes – I guess you never know.

Someday you know, this is going to be me and you.
Someday you know, this is going to be me and you.

I’m always meeting my cousins at funerals,
we’re always saying we should get together,
but we never do.
Oh, we never do.
