Lyric

You slid me the bill

I saw your small note

On the back of the receipt

You wrote what you meant

Ink on a paper slip

Sugar by your cup

You said, "Meet me again"

And I looked up

Seven was the hour

Your laugh was the clue

My hand shook a little

As I said, "I do"

Write me there again

On the back of a receipt

Write me there again

Make the small print sweet

Back of a receipt

That's where you found me

The waiter stacked the cups

Rain tapped the pane

Your name in the corner

Still bright through the stain

I folded that paper

Like a little prayer

Kept it in my coat

Just to feel you there

Seven on the clock

And the room felt new

One tiny line from you

Was all it took to

Write me there again

On the back of a receipt

Write me there again

Make the small print sweet

Back of a receipt

That's where you found me

No grand speech

No midnight scene

Just your careful words

Between the totals and the green

And if you ask

What love can be

It fits in a pocket

And it finds me easy

Write me there again

On the back of a receipt

Write me there again

Make the small print sweet

Back of a receipt

That's where you found me

Back of a receipt

Your little love note

Back of a receipt

Still keeps me afloat
