  • Keep those lights on
    Toys on the front lawn
    Disney World trip next summer
    Used kit for our little air-drummer
    Food on the table
    Brand new cradle
    For the angel that's coming in a minute
    This house and everybody in it

    Got my bags packed, got my ticket
    Got a heartache to go with it
    Baby, kiss me, say you'll miss me
    Oh, while we still got time

    Take a look at our little paradise
    It ain't much but baby, you and I
    Picked the right stars, made the right wish
    Ain't nothing out there like this
    And it kills me that I gotta go
    Couldn't do it if I didn't know
    That every time I'm walking out that door
    You know what I'm leaving for

    When I'm out there
    I know I'm where
    I'm meant to be picking them strings
    And getting that small town to sing
    On that last turn home
    I can hardly wait
    To drop my bags, kiss your face
    'Cause all I can do is stop and

    Take a look at our little paradise
    It ain't much but baby, you and I
    Picked the right stars, made the right wish
    Ain't nothing out there like this
    And it kills me that I gotta go
    Couldn't do it if I didn't know
    That every time I'm walking out that door
    You know what I'm leaving for
    Ooh-ooh

    Oh, got my bags packed, got my ticket
    Got a heartache to go with it
    Baby, kiss me, say you'll miss me
    While we still got time

    Take a look at our little paradise
    It ain't much but baby, you and I
    Picked the right stars, made the right wish
    Ooh, ain't nothing out there like this
    And it kills me that I gotta go
    Couldn't do it if I didn't know
    You know that this heart of mine is yours
    (You know that this heart is yours)
    Oh, and every time I'm walking out that door
    You know what I'm leaving for
