Johnny was a pyro and he acted like a baby. Wanted all this attention I couldn't give. Drink a bottle of hard stuff, say I love you now save me. Just a big guy with a funny sense of sin.
You ask me how I'm doin' since you left. I can't lie, sometimes, I'm beside myself. And the way I feel is to hard to hide. A little on the lonely side.
He wore Italian shoes. Like that's supposed to mean something. I mean I could wear Italian shoes too. And it wouldn't mean a thing to me. Except maybe the first time I wore them.
You ask me how I'm doin' since you left. I can't lie, sometimes, I'm beside myself. And the way I feel is to hard to hide. A little on the lonely side.
I'll take your days. I'll take your darkest days. I'll take your days. I'll take your dark days. . And inside your painting. There I'll be. Inside your painting.
Stand up straight, they won't notice. Don't fall apart now. Chin up, keep both eyes focused. On your sacred vow. . Deep down you've got to remember. What you came here for.
I don't fall in love as a rule. 'Cause it always made me look like a fool. Well it keeps me up late, I can't concentrate. And I pride myself on keeping my cool.
I remember walking with holes in our shoes. I remember we weren't the kind to make an excuse. I remember thinking we would break all the rules. Where are those children now? Where are those children now?.
Break us down by our elements and you might think he failed. We're not copper for one penny or even iron for one nail. And a dollar would be plenty to buy twenty of us.
Get the baby and the bath water pack it up. Get the truck in the backyard and back it up. It's burnin' down. . Tie it off with a little piece of clothes line.
See the pyramids along the Nile.. Watch the sunrise from a tropic isle.. Just remember, darling, all the while. You belong to me.. . See the marketplace in old Algiers..
The Statue of Liberty outside of Birmingham. Stands by the highway, raises its lily white hand. Boatloads of people rush to America's Birmingham. . And you're damned if you do and you're damned if you don't.
Oh, for just the chance to love you. Would I love you, love you, love you. To take you in my arms. Has always been my goal. Sure as there's a moon above you.
New York is far away from here. New York is far away from here. And you can see it in the rain. And you can see it in the cheap suits and the ties. . It's just a fallen away frontier.
Dreaming, dreaming of you. . With my eyes wide open I'm dreaming. Can it be true I'm holding you close to my heart?. With my eyes wide open I'm dreaming.
Hey, a change is gonna come. April told me so. East is east and west is west. There's nowhere else to go. . Hey, stay a while. Let the wild winds blow.
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas. Just like the ones I used to know. Where the tree tops glisten. And children listen. To hear sleigh bells in the snow.
If you never saw me coming. Would you recognize me now?. If you never saw me now. Would you be coming back again?. . If you never saw me coming. Would you take a second bow?.
(Dream, dream, dream, dream, dream). Woke up this mornin' and I looked around. So disappointed, I laid back down. Oh, what a dream, oh, what a dream I had last night.
Smile the while you kiss me sad adieu. When the clouds roll by, I'll come to you. Then the skies will seem more blue. Down in lovers lane, my dearie. .
