Written for a songwriting exercise, SSG Y11W52. The song title should be (or contain) the name of a candy bar or something of that ilk. I was searching lists of candies and ran across "After Eight." It just flowed from there.
verse:
Things are bleak
When you work all day
Five days a week,
Staying late.
Sometimes until after eight.
chorus:
Will I see you after eight?
Will you be here after eight?
I can hardly wait
Until after eight.
verse:
We'll open some wine
And make spaghetti.
You can unwind.
I'll be ready
After eight.
chorus
verse:
Turn off your cell phone.
Turn down the lights.
We'll be alone
On a Friday night.
My favorite time is after eight.
chorus
