Under Separate Cover

Under separate cover are ten cartons and a trunk
 And the bicycle you had sent home from England
 And the shirts your mother mentioned
 Although some of them have shrunk
 And some old assorted junk
 And the best part of my life
 As your first and only wife
 And the firm belief that love has gone for good
 Under separate cover are the records and the books
 And the ashtray that I gave you in October
 And the hope that all the neighbors will stop shooting you those looks
 There are far too many cooks
 And the best part of my life
 As your first and only wife
 And the firm belief that love has gone for good
 I can hear the music of the phonograph still
 I can hear the music of the laughter
 I can hear the music and I'm sure that I will
 Hear it ever after
 Hear it ever after
 ♪
 Under separate cover are the remnants of my heart
 And the wish that you are flourishing tomorrow
 And the ironclad conviction we'll do better now apart
 And the time has come to start
 And the best part of my life
 As your first and only wife
 And the firm belief that love is gone
 And the firm belief that love is gone
