Baby Boom Baby Lyrics - Never Die Young - James Taylor

Somehow the season 

Always brings a picture of you 

Baby boom baby 

Holding on for everything you figured you're due 

Little turtleneck girl the moon on your shoulder 

The wind in your lovely hair 

Oh, what a night we sat on the beach 

And watched as the sun rose into the Summer air 

You said we couldn't miss 

What we never knew 

Something about something that you had to do 

Sitting on the sand with a hole in my shoe 

I had no way of knowing where you might have been 

Time goes by 

All on my own I imagine you a life in between 

All own my own 

I worked on a letter 

But it never made it out of my head 

Somehow reading your name it wasn't the same 

As leaving the thing unsaid 

How come I miss 

What I never knew 

And drag out the past just to paint it blue 

And spend my days with a dream of you 

Oh, after a fall 

Here I'm trying to find our name on the wall 

It was neither yours nor mine 

It was something of the two combined 

From a time spent out of time 

I work hard to see that you remember my name 

Nod your head yes 

Do all I can to make you want to see me again 

Oh, what a night 

Got a letter from the mail 

Got a message from the telephone 

Seems you're working in town 

Moving around living alone 

Now I'm caught in the spotlight 

Walking the wire 

My feet are frozen and my heart's on fire 

What do I do if my dream comes true?
