| [00:05.36] |
I guess you're never gonna come back for me, ma |
| [00:10.16] |
With a suitcase of pretty dresses and shoes |
| [00:18.37] |
One for you and one for me, ma |
| [00:22.44] |
And perfume for the ladies looking after me too |
| [00:29.95] |
There was a chair beside the door I wished you'd walk through |
| [00:35.70] |
Wearing your sad eyes and frown |
| [00:42.00] |
You'd stand beside me and we'd wind the Victrola |
| [00:47.22] |
And sing along together |
| [00:49.59] |
Make the sweetest sounds |
| [00:51.51] |
|
| [00:53.92] |
I used to think it might be who I am |
| [00:58.34] |
Maybe who I am wasn't right |
| [01:06.50] |
And I'd wonder if you missed me the same way |
| [01:12.32] |
Lonely day after lonely night |
| [01:18.96] |
But I know you must've had a good reason |
| [01:24.13] |
You had a good reason, alright |
| [01:28.17] |
|
| [01:54.37] |
I guess you're gonna never see me a-shining |
| [01:58.77] |
All the lines of people winding around the block |
| [02:06.17] |
The world is mine, and it's a microphone in my hand |
| [02:11.41] |
Singing with a band, ma, the toast of the town |
| [02:18.32] |
Sometimes I think I see you out there a-smiling |
| [02:23.76] |
Your pretty sad eyes singing along |
| [02:31.17] |
And all at once I'm a bird with no ceiling |
| [02:35.61] |
A voice and a feeling like I'll never come down |
| [02:40.45] |
|
| [02:41.77] |
I used to think it might be who I am |
| [02:46.51] |
Maybe who I am wasn't right |
| [02:53.88] |
And I'd wonder if you missed me the same way |
| [02:59.66] |
Lonely day after lonely night |
| [03:06.76] |
But I know you must've had a good reason |
| [03:12.68] |
You had a good reason, alright |
