I knew a man Bojangles. Always danced with worn out shoes. The silver hair, a ragged shirt. And bare ragged paints. The old soft shoe. He jumps so high.
Now you're back on my doorstep a' crying. Like I cried through all those lonely years. But I can't dry your tears it's been too long since love was here.
Meet me tonight in a memory somewhere back in time. That old dive just south of Santa Fe when you used to look at me that way. Come on baby meet me tonight at our old apartment off of church and main.
Does anyone remember, does anybody care, the days we danced together with feathers in our hair. Rivers ran together, to sing a crystal tune, stones skipped on the water, circles around the moon..
Twilight falls,. Evening shadows find,. There 'neath the stars a maiden so fair divine.. . The moon on high seemed to see her there,. In her eyes was a light shining ever so bright,.
every step's been shown to you. like all those years in school. what they said is what you say. what they saw is what you see. you lack a clear drawn line.
Hey little girl you might not know this song. This is not the kind of song that you can sing along to. Hey little girl. Maybe some day. Least that's what all the good people will say.
Once in life, you'll meet someone who gives to you. The reason for that life is what some love can do. So now I'm armed for troubled time with all I knew.
I got my mama's green eyes and my daddy's wild hair. Mama was a green eyed city girl. A perfect lady in her lace and pearls. Daddy was a wild haired country boy.
