[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
