We might've spent the rest of our lives Walking down Misery Street #12) I'll stage a ballet on a tabletop Command performance, finger size #13) Take one fresh and tender kiss Add one stolen night of bliss One girl, one boy Some grief, some joy #14) I can't be contented with yesterday's glory I can't live on promises, winter to spring Today is my moment and now is my story I'll laugh and I'll cry and I'll sing #15) Quiet thoughts come floating down And settle softly to the ground Like golden autumn leaves around my feet I touched them and they burst apart #16) Well girl, I've been torn up before But I can't handle that once more Well, I've been down for a long, long time And now it's time to reach my mind There's lots of pain upon this earth Girl, I've had my money's worth #17) When the night is warm, soft and warm I long for his charms I'd sing like a violin If I were in his arms #18) Green leaves of summer turn red in the fall To brown and to yellow They fade, and then they have to die Trapped within the circle time parade #19) First, there's laughter Then, those tears But I'll keep my head up high Although I'm kind-a tired My gal just up and left last week Friday, I got fired #20) Darling, if you love me, I beg you wait a little longer Wait until I drive all these foolish fears out of my mind How I hope and pray that our love will keep on growing stronger #21) You know, that ain't no way to do You didn't act like that when you had it home behind closed doors All right, Now you act like you're ashamed about her Or you don't want nobody to know she's yours That's all right, you just walk on, baby #22) I'd hate to see 'em in the morning when they both completely flip He'll be sayin' "they cain't" She'll be feeling faint And I'll be kissing my husband's lips #23) In a dimly lit corner in a place outside of town Tonight, we'll try to say goodbye again But I know it's not over, I'll call tomorrow night I can't let you go, so why pretend? #24) Lonely, without you, baby Girl, I need you I can't go o-o-o-o-on #25) ----------------------- T I E - B R E A K E R S ----------------------- I'm the gu-u-uy who left you with tears in his ey-e-es You didn't answer my letters, so I figured it was just a l-i-i-i-ie Your hair's getting long, and your shorts Uum, they sure fit you real fine I'll bet you went out every night, even during the school time But this-a ti-i-ime, I'm not gonna count on yo-oo-ou I'll see you this summer, And forget you when I go back to scho-o-o-o-ool #T1) There's no need to hurry Let your mind be faint of work and worry When the dance steps bend like this together I'm so sure we could go on forever There's no doubt without your lovin', baby I'm alone and on my own #T2) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Name(s) = E-mail address = Age(s) [will be published if provided] = Number of people (including you) who contributed to your answers = ------------------------------------------------------------------------
