Once upon a midnight dearie |
| [00:22] |
I woke with something in my head |
| [00:26] |
I couldn't escape the memory |
| [00:29] |
Of a phone call and of what you said |
| [00:32] |
Like a game show contestant with a parting gift |
| [00:35] |
I could not believe my eyes |
| [00:38] |
When I saw through the voice of a trusted friend |
| [00:41] |
Who needs to humor me and tell me lies |
| [00:44] |
Yeah humor me and tell me lies |
| [00:48] |
And I'll lie too and say I don't mind |
| [00:51] |
And as we seek so shall we find |
| [00:54] |
And when you're feeling open I'll still be here |
| [00:57] |
But not without a certain degree of fear |
| [01:01] |
Of what will be with you and me |
| [01:03] |
I still can see things hopefully |
| [01:06] |
But you |
| [01:09] |
Why you wanna give me a run-around |
| [01:12] |
Is it a sure-fire way to speed things up |
| [01:16] |
When all it does is slow me down |
| [01:23] |
And shake me and my confidence |
| [01:26] |
About a great many things |
| [01:29] |
But I've been there I can see it cower |
| [01:32] |
Like a nervous magician waiting in the wings |
| [01:35] |
Of a bad play where the heroes are right |
| [01:38] |
And nobody thinks or expects too much |
| [01:42] |
And Hollywood's calling for the movie rights |
| [01:44] |
Singing hey babe let's keep in touch |
| [01:47] |
Hey baby let's keep in touch |
| [01:51] |
But I want more than a touch I want you to reach me |
| [01:54] |
And show me all the things no one else can see |
| [01:57] |
So what you feel bes mine as well |
| [02:00] |
And soon if we're lucky we'd be unable to tell |
| [02:03] |
What's yours and mine the fishing's fine |
| [02:07] |
And it doesn't have to rhyme so don't feed me a line |
| [02:09] |
But you |
| [02:12] |
Why you wanna give me a run-around |
| [02:15] |
Is it a sure-fire wa to speed things up |
| [02:19] |
When all it does is slow me down |
| [02:44] |
Tra la la la la bomba dear this is the pilot speaking |
| [02:47] |
And I've got some news for you |
| [02:51] |
It seems my ship still stands no matter what you drop |
| [02:54] |
And there ain't a whole lot that you can do |
| [02:57] |
Oh sure the banner may be torn and the wind's gotten colder |
| [03:00] |
Perhaps I've grown a little cynical |
| [03:04] |
But I know no matter what the waitress brings |
| [03:06] |
I shall drink in and always be full |
| [03:10] |
My cup shall always be full |
| [03:14] |
Oh I like coffee |
| [03:15] |
And I like tea |
| [03:16] |
I'd like to be able to enter a final plea |
| [03:19] |
I still got this dream that you just can't shake |
| [03:22] |
I love you to the point you can no longer take |
| [03:25] |
Well all right okay |
| [03:27] |
So be that way |
| [03:29] |
I hope and pray |
| [03:30] |
That there's something left to say |
| [03:32] |
But you |
| [03:34] |
Why you wanna give me a run-around |
| [03:38] |
Is it a sure-fire way to speed things up |
| [03:41] |
When all it does is slow me down |
| [03:44] |
But you |
| [03:47] |
Why you wanna give me a run-around |
| [03:50] |
Is it a sure-fire way to speed things up |
| [03:54] |
When all it does is slow me down |
