Lyrics
Come spend a week with me
so we can get to know each other
Bring your winter clothes
It’s gonna be so cold outside
Yes we can lie in bed
and read each other poetry
protected from the edge of night
in each others’ arms
Let’s take the A train
all the stories that the faces tell
we’ll make up songs about them
as if we could know them well
but the story that I
want to know the most about
is you and me cause when we’re making love
you make me wanna shout
I was lost but now I'm found
Amazing Grace
Is coming to town
Listen to me baby
come spend a week with me
so we can get to know each other
though you’re in Argentina
far from me on Christmas eve
Santa’s bringing me the best surprise
a boy could ask for
2 pillows for me when I get down on my knees
for Grace
Amazing Grace is coming to town
Come Spend a Week With Me
so we can get to know each other
let’s write our own story
Amazing Grace
She’s got a ticket to ride/ in just a few days
she’ll come to Brooklyn/ be by my side
Come Spend a Week With Me
I’m waiting impatiently
for you to be here with me
Amazing Grace
My world was black and white/ a long cold dark night
Now it's technicolor bright
Come Spend a Week With Me
you make me wanna shout
I wanna know all about
Amazing Grace
is coming to town
