Let’s have an affair
A big band number. Some people retake their marriage vows after 40 years or so... but if you want to bring back the excitement and passion...
words and music by Martin Stirrup 2018
C Em Am A7
Our life together's been a heady refrain
F G7 C
And there 've been more highs than lows
C Em Am A7
So why not just start it all over again
D G F# G7
I've got a plan I'm sure will grow on you....
C Fmaj7 Dm G
Let's pretend that we've just met
C Fmaj7 F F# G
There's be attraction you can bet
C C7 F Fm G G7
Or maybe something better yet you know
Some conversation would be nice
Maybe falter once or twice
And then as we broke the ice
D G
We'd feel something grow
And you know if I were in your shoes
I'd conclude I had nothing to lose
What's the point of having choice less you choose
To be fair
And I hope that you will agree
I'll do my best most diligently
To ensure that I set you free from all cares
Let's have an affair
Bridge: C Fmaj7 Dm E
F D#˚ C A7
We'll act like we're frantic Incurable romantics
Dm G7 C C7
Afraid that we might get caught
Dm E Am
You may say I'm stupid But I'm with cupid
D F G
Such freedom cannot be bought
I'll take you to some fabulous place
And watch the sunset paint your face
And hold you as our pulses race
And the moon shines on above (D G)
And later in our cosy bed
We'll let our emotions rule our heads C
And bind us there in golden threads if everlasting love (D G) … let’s have an affair
End: C C7 F Fm7 let’s have an affair (repeat) D G CBC C7
