This song was originally called 'home in 3' but didn't when I went to record it. When I'm leaving work or I've been away from home I'll pull over close to home and text Mel with the words "home in 3. Love you. xx". It's just what I do. So it made sense to put it into a fun little song.
lyrics
TAKE IT EASY
It’s been a journey, it’s been a long road
And a nice one at that too
We’ve been a while now, on this adventure
And I know that I love you
There’s been some changes
Some big and some small ones
Rearranging our future
There’s been some moments
Some good and bad ones
That’s what makes it an adventure
And when the day’s been long and I’m travelling those miles
I just close my eyes and remember your smile
I’ll be home in 3
Baby you and me
We’re gonna spend some time
Drink a glass of wine and take it easy
It’s just me and you
Nothing more to do
We’ll just stay up late
Baby it’s a date…we’ll take it easy
It’s been a pleasure, my sweet contentment
When I wake up beside you
To hear you breathing, a gentle whisper
As you open your eyes blue
Could not imagine my world without you
You’re the one that God gave me
You are so precious, so captivating
You’re the one that my heart sees
And when the day’s been long and I’m travelling those miles
I just close my eyes and remember your smile
I’ll be home in 3
Baby you and me
We’re gonna spend some time
Drink a glass of wine and take it easy
It’s just me and you
Nothing more to do
We’ll just stay up late
Baby it’s a date…we’ll take it easy
