Not a Moment Too Soon - The Ficus in the Lobby

There's a place in another world
Where you and I make a pair
Where I'm not invisible
And where you love me, that's where
There's a moment in another time
When we blend into one
When you look up at me and you smile
And the world can go to hell

But I can't make you see me now
I'm just a ficus in the lobby
I'm a speck of dirt and nothing more
In this charming world that you inhabit

There's a planet in another space
Where we both breathe the same air
Where all the stars align, and amazed
We see we're in heaven on earth
There's a you in another life
Who needs me night and day
Who believes I'm worth more than "Hi"
Never wants me far away

And that's the life where I belong
I'm heading there and then today
I can't go on here without you
I take the pills I'm on my way

When you see me in the paper
You might not give it a thought
Or you might say he looks familiar
Didn't he work on the third floor?
"What a shame" or "What a loser"
You just won't give a damn
You will yawn and throw the paper
In the recycling bin

But where I am now so are you
And there you love me through and through
There we're an item you and me
Have always been will always be
I ain't gonna wake up anymore
'Cause where I'm now ain't no third floor
It's you and me, two martinis
And you call me your sweet lovey dovey
