Oil and Water

Composer’s original recording:

Arrangement for piano and tenor voice (as shown above):

Right now I’m thinkin’ lots about us
I’m thinkin’ how we came to be
In many ways we two are differ’nt
On that point you and I agree

Sometimes we are like oil and water
And everyone knows they don’t mix
But still we don’t want any other
Somehow we always seem to stick

and for me you’re cotton candy
you’re the apple of my eye
you’re the cream within my coffee
You’re the finest glass of wine
you’re the nectar to the flower
I’m the flower seeking bee
I just can’t imagine
anyone but you for me

And so what if oil and water
sometimes go and make a mess
I will take the ups and downs with us
for this I do confess
I could never love another one
the way that I love you
You got me right from the start
there’s nothin’ I can do

Sometimes I’m thunder to your light’ning
But most the time the weather’s calm
But through it all we’re always finding
that for each other we’re the one

And for me you’re cotton candy
you’re the apple of my eye
you’re the cream within my coffee
You’re the finest glass of wine
you’re the nectar to the flower
I’m the flower seeking bee

oil and water just don’t mix
but the two of us still stick
you and me together for all time
