00:02I dressed for the evening, set the table just right.
00:08Then my plans took a detour before midnight.
00:18New shirt, clean shoes, I had a whole routine.
00:22Practiced my smile in the hallway mirror sheen.
00:26You gave me that look, I started my speech.
00:30Then my best laid plans were just out of reach.
00:34I tried to play it cool, tried to change the scene.
00:37You asked if I was nervous, I said, what do you mean?
00:41My confidence clocked out early tonight.
00:45Left me with a candle and a table for two.
00:49You laughed, pulled me close, said we're doing just fine.
00:52And somehow the whole room felt brand new.
00:56No brand display, no perfect debut.
01:00Just your hand and mine.
01:02And a joke or two.
01:06And a joke or two.
01:11I blamed the long week, the late cup of tea.
01:15You found a crossword and handed it to me.
01:19We solved half the clues with the radio low.
01:22And took our sweet time letting evening unfold.
01:26You said, don't make a case.
01:28You don't have to explain.
01:30I said, I had a plan.
01:32And you said, plans can change.
01:34My confidence clocked out early tonight.
01:38Left me with a candle and a table for two.
01:41You laughed, pulled me close, said we're doing just fine.
01:45And somehow the whole room felt brand new.
01:49No brand display, no perfect debut.
01:52You just your hand and mine and a joke or two.
02:00We're a team.
02:02You and me.
02:04No scorecard, no guarantee.
02:07When the evening takes a turn, there's still plenty left to learn.
02:17We danced in the kitchen in our stocking feet.
02:21The kettle clicked off and we missed the beat.
02:25You said, you still got rhythm.
02:27I bowed like a fool.
02:29Then we laughed at the sunrise warming up the room.
02:32My confidence clocked out early tonight.
02:36But you stayed and made the whole thing feel right.
02:39Feel right.
02:40We laughed till the morning came into view.
02:43No grand display, just me and you.
02:47No perfect script, no need to prove.
02:51Just your hand and mine.
02:55And a little room to move.
03:00You asked, was it something I did?
03:06I said, no, darling.
03:08I think management needs a meeting.
