My Head In Front of Your Head
--Best Friends Forever
--song lyrics--
Abraham Lincoln: I would like to go back in time and be your wife. Not because I’d be the First Lady but because I think you’re charming. I know you were an unhappy man. You married old, they say. I could have made you a happy man who laughed and danced and sang. And I would have recited Shakespeare with you, let you read all the good lines. You could have been Iago and Othello every time. I would have done your shopping for you, bought you your tall pants. I would have been presently affectionate. I would have put my hand in your long hand. And if I had been on the balcony at Ford’s Theater when Mr. Booth came up with gun in hand, I would have put my head in front of your head. Abraham Lincoln: I would like to go back in time and be your wife. Not because you saved the Union, but because I think you’re hot stuff. I know you were intelligent, telling stories all the time. And I bet we’d have the same sense of humor. We’d laugh until we died. And I would have spent hours combing your hair putting every one in place. But, if you got nervous and messed it up, it would have been ok. Cause we could have had messy hair together. And we could have had the most beautiful children together. I would have been a perfect mother to Eddie and Willie and Tad and Robbie and I wouldn’t have let them get the fever or smallpox or malaria. If I had been on the balcony of Ford’s Theater when Mr. Booth came up with gun in hand, I would have put my head in front of your head. I would have put my head in front of your head.
