These are the "good old days"

I just woke up with a feeling of great anticipation for the weekend ahead. To honour my anticipation, I was humming that exact song. "Anticipation" by Carly Simon, by a woman very familiar with the area. Perhaps she was inspired somewhere nearby? Most of the words fit - some, not so much, but really, you get the jist :)

We can never know about the days to come
But we think about them anyway
And I wonder if I'm really with you now
Or just chasing after some finer day.

Anticipation, Anticipation
Is making me late
Is keeping me waiting

And I tell you how easy it is to be with you
And how right your arms feel around me.
But I rehearsed those words just late last night
When I was thinking about how right tonight might be.

Anticipation, Anticipation
Is making me late
Is keeping me waiting

And tomorrow we might not be together
I'm no prophet, I don't know natures way
So I'll try to see into your eyes right now
And stay right here, 'cause these are the good old days.
