All Would Envy Lyrics - Let's Fall In Love - Chris Botti

Old enough to be her dad 

But the young men were just mad 

they nursed their grievances 

And she was flattered by his charm 

It wouldn't do her any harm they all had their chances 

He sent her flowers and limousines 

She was treated like a queen 

Anything she ever wanted 

It was no problem for a man like him 

And everyone expected soon 

That she could ask him for the moon 

If she would wear his ring 

Knowing glances from his friends 

In the homes at the weekends of high society 

But he didn't give a damn 

He never felt more like a man

And all the time the clock was ticking 

And all would envy 

the older man and his beautiful young wife 

Yes, all would envy 

In a house upon a hill 

She was there with time to kill 

She lived a life she'd only dreamed 

The life was never what it seemed 

To all her friends that she'd ignored 

She denied she was bored 

She had no time for dancing, no time for dancing 

But the clock upon the wall 

That was ticking in the hall 

Always reminded her 

That life was going on as well 

But she was happy and she would swear 

she wouldn't change a thing

And all would envy 

the older man and his beautiful young wife 

Yes, all would envy 

Now it's 5 o'clock am 

She must have spent the night again 

with that old friend of hers 

She loves to dance 

She's missing more and more these days 

But he's still stuck in his old ways 

Perhaps she needs a little more romance 

But the clock upon the wall is still ticking in the hall 

She must be home soon, soon 

Where a younger man would weep 

He takes a pill and goes to sleep 

Now who would envy 

the older man and his beautiful young wife 

Who would envy? 

Who would envy?
