You're the one I've never met
But you're out there somewhere
I might have passed you on the street
Sat before you in that chair
But I'll hold my head up high
Hoping you will show your face
A subtle smile in your eyes
Lips to call my name
People say that death and taxes
Are all that a man is guaranteed
So, I'll pay my debts and I'll buy my coffin
And pray that you'll meet me halfway
You're the one I've never met
But what wakes me from my sleep
The feeling this could be the day
Of our first anniversary
But I won't wear the same shirt
Or toss pennies in that well
Who needs a talisman
When our hearts will set the sails
I filed my tax return
Had my tombstone engraved
I hope to hear your voice
Before they audit me
People say that death and taxes
Are all that a man is guaranteed
So, I'll pay my debts and I'll buy my coffin
And pray that you'll meet me halfway
People say that death and taxes
Are all that a man is guaranteed
So, I'll pay my debts and I'll buy my coffin
And pray that you'll meet me halfway
