In My Perfect World

Lyrics

[OLIVER] Daylight, waking up beside you Marveling at your beauty In the early sunbeams I'm overjoyed [DELILAH] Weekends going on adventures Or maybe watching movies Laying on the sofa And holding hands [OLIVER] We're face to face [DELILAH] In the same time and space [OLIVER] It can't get any better [DELILAH] We'll finally be together In my perfect world You are next to me In my perfect world I feel happy at last [OLIVER] The future is clearer While holding you nearer I love how you fit into [BOTH] My perfect world [OLIVER, spoken] Tell me everything! I want to know more about your world [DELILAH, spoken] Well... in my world, the men wear aprons and do all the cleaning [OLIVER, spoken] Fascinating [DELILAH, spoken] Mhm! And they always take the children to school [OLIVER, spoken] I would like that [DELILAH, spoken] And they have dinner on the table just in time for the women to come home from their fulfilling careers! [OLIVER, spoken] What fun! Okay, okay, so how about- [OLIVER, sung] You and me and five little children [DELILAH] Um, maybe you mean three children [OLIVER] I was thinking four children - two are twins! [DELILAH] We live on a little hillside - no twins! [OLIVER] On a humble dwelling where I wear my apron [DELILAH] Right!, 'cause all men do! Side by side [OLIVER] You'll be my guide [DELILAH] We'll make a perfect duo [OLIVER] So teach me all that you know [DELILAH] In my perfect world There's adventure waiting In my perfect world There's so much to do [OLIVER] When each day is ending I'm happy I'm spending [BOTH] A lifetime beside you in my perfect world! [OLIVER, spoken] Tell me... is there dancing out there? [DELILAH, spoken] Of course, people out here dance all the time! (OLIVER gasps) [OLIVER, spoken] Excellent! So, perhaps you know... the beggar's dance [OLIVER, sung] Hither to, then bow to thy neighbor Thither hence, and danceth to and fro! [DELILAH, spoken] Oh God, never do that again [OLIVER, spoken] What? I'm a tremendous dancer (DELILAH laughs) Okay, so let's see some of your moves [DELILAH, spoken] Wha- no, I said people dance? I don't dance [OLIVER, spoken] Some day, Delilah McPhee... you will dance with me [DELILAH, sung] Side by side [BOTH] I'll/You'll be your/my guide We'll be there for each other Ready for another [DELILAH and OLIVER] In my perfect world (Waking up beside you, marveling at your beauty) We'd stay up watching movies (In the early sunbeams, I'm overjoyed) Mornings, sitting in the kitchen, skipping through the paper (In my perfect world) Sipping at our coffee, we're holding hands (I have so much to learn) [OLIVER] We'll smile and dance [DELILAH] You need some pants [OLIVER] We'll be there for each other [BOTH] Ready for another [OLIVER, DELILAH] Day in my perfect world (Daylight waking up beside you) In my perfect world (Beside you!) Mornings sitting in the kitchen, skipping through the paper Mornings sitting in the kitchen [BOTH] That's my perfect... world! [OLIVER, spoken] Just one tiny dance step? [DELILAH, spoken] Oliver, no!
