If I Care To Break It Down I’ve always thought that I would want a blue-eyed guy To be my husband And that I would want a tall guy, too, Taller than me, I think six foot five was the height I had in my head It’s so funny when You go though all these ideas and You have all these notions in Your head about how You want things to go for you And no, I would never have expected That the guy for me Would be older than me and I never would have thought about What he did for a living and I would have been sure That he would NOT have been creative And now, as I look at us, I think, I am a creative person with And engineering background and You are an engineering person With a creative background And I think that’s cute And now that I think of it You are between six foot three And six foot four And you have blue eyes And you are NOT in the same line of work as me And that is a GOOD thing It is amazing How many good things There are between us If I care to break it down Copyright Janet Kuypers.
