CHARLES and HOPE, now quite elderly, have decided to move someplace smaller. Tumbling forward through time in this song, we find Hope getting sick and Charles trying to put on a brave face.

Lyrics
CHARLES
We'll make a fresh start
Sell off our stuff
Or else we'll give it away
A new little place
Just us and the bed
Like it was way back in the day
No clutter to clean
No doodads to dust
Nothing we'll ever miss
Take the fish take the clocks
Throw 'em all in a box
We could just live like this
HOPE
You go ahead with Jules and the kids
I don't feel well enough to make the drive
CHARLES
You know I think you're right
To heck with all those youngsters
They're only getting on my nerves
How 'bout just you and me, a movie and some popcorn?
Salt 'n' butter
Cold soda
Good 'n' plenty
We'll make out right in the back row...
HOPE
You go ahead and have some fun
The new doctor says I shouldn't go too far
CHARLES
I got your purse
I got your pills
I got your coat and your hat
Let's get outside
Go for a walk
It's not as bad as all that
HOPE
You go ahead - I'll just feel worse
The medicine makes me queasy like before
CHARLES
Your own private room
The friendliest nurse
The best that money can buy
Stay with it, Hope
Do it for me
Come on, I know you can try
HOPE
This can't go on, I'm sure you'll agree
CHARLES
Can't we just live like this?
HOPE
I'm sorry my love, it's too much for me
CHARLES
Can't we just live like this?
HOPE
I don't want to go back there, I said
CHARLES
Can't we just live like this?
HOPE
I want to be right here in our bed
CHARLES
Then that's where you'll be.
We'll make a fresh start
Sell off our stuff
Or else we'll give it away
A new little place
Just us and the bed
Like it was way back in the day
No clutter to clean
No doodads to dust
Nothing we'll ever miss
Take the fish take the clocks
Throw 'em all in a box
We could just live like this
HOPE
You go ahead with Jules and the kids
I don't feel well enough to make the drive
CHARLES
You know I think you're right
To heck with all those youngsters
They're only getting on my nerves
How 'bout just you and me, a movie and some popcorn?
Salt 'n' butter
Cold soda
Good 'n' plenty
We'll make out right in the back row...
HOPE
You go ahead and have some fun
The new doctor says I shouldn't go too far
CHARLES
I got your purse
I got your pills
I got your coat and your hat
Let's get outside
Go for a walk
It's not as bad as all that
HOPE
You go ahead - I'll just feel worse
The medicine makes me queasy like before
CHARLES
Your own private room
The friendliest nurse
The best that money can buy
Stay with it, Hope
Do it for me
Come on, I know you can try

Then that's where you'll be.
