[00:00.52] Practical Arrangement - Sting
[00:14.95] Am I asking for the moon?
[00:16.20]
[00:18.62] Is it really so implausible?
[00:20.32]
[00:23.00] That you and I could soon
[00:24.32]
[00:26.07] Come to some kind of arrangement?
[00:27.82]
[00:29.69] I'm not asking for the moon
[00:31.07]
[00:34.00] I've always been a realist
[00:35.12]
[00:37.24] When it's really nothing more
[00:38.43]
[00:40.80] Than a simple rearrangement
[00:42.23]
[00:44.48] With one roof above our heads
[00:46.16]
[00:48.59] A warm house to return to
[00:50.10]
[00:52.03] We could start with separate beds
[00:53.53]
[00:55.34] I could sleep alone or learn to
[00:57.70]
[00:58.83] I'm not suggesting that we'd find
[01:00.39]
[01:01.71] Some earthly paradise forever
[01:04.58]
[01:08.19] I mean how often does that happen now
[01:09.81]
[01:12.56] The answer's probably never
[01:13.74]
[01:15.69] But we could come to an arrangement
[01:17.20]
[01:20.07] A practical arrangement
[01:21.25]
[01:23.81] And you could learn to love me
[01:25.38]
[01:26.93] Given time
[01:27.56]
[01:34.17] I'm not promising the moon
[01:35.42]
[01:37.61] I'm not promising a rainbow
[01:39.04]
[01:41.16] Just a practical solution
[01:42.78]
[01:45.10] To a solitary life
[01:46.21]
[01:48.53] I'd be a father to your boy
[01:50.08]
[01:52.49] A shoulder you could lean on
[01:54.05]
[01:56.04] How bad could it be
[01:57.42]
[01:59.86] To be my wife?
[02:00.79]
[02:02.90] With one roof above our heads
[02:04.53]
[02:07.03] A warm house to return to
[02:08.40]
[02:10.52] You wouldn't have to cook mefor
[02:11.86]
[02:13.75] You wouldn't have to learn to
[02:14.99]
[02:16.67] I'm not suggesting that this proposition here
[02:19.68]
[02:21.31] Could last forever
[02:23.18]
[02:25.80] I've no intention of deceiving you
[02:27.98]
[02:30.42] You're far too clever
[02:31.35]
[02:33.28] But we could come to an arrangement
[02:34.85]
[02:37.71] A practical arrangement
[02:38.77]
[02:40.96] And perhaps you'd learn to love me
[02:42.77]
[02:44.33] Given time
[02:44.96]
[02:48.07] It may not be the romance
[02:51.32] That you had in mind
[02:55.37]
[02:58.56] But you could learn to love me
[03:01.12]
[03:02.61] Given time
