If we could only get along for a day
We could sit down with one another.
Talk for hours about having our kids
How hard it was to raise them
But what a joy it was to see them grow.
We could talk about all the people we lost
Cry with one another as we talk of their death
Then reminisce at all the time we had with them
Discuss how important they were in our lives.
We could tell another about jobs we had
Laugh as we discuss how terrible we were at some of them.
If we could only get along for a day
We would probably find out
We have so much in common
That we should have been friends
All these years.
