I'm not Lisa, my name is Julie. An' Lisa left you years ago. My eyes are not blue but mine won't leave you. 'Til the sunlight has touched your face. .
I broke most of Momma's dishes. She banned me from the kitchen when I was a kid. And I tore Daddy's truck to pieces. Left it in a heap that no mechanic could fix.
I don't wonder where you are. I don't even care. Things have changed. They're not the same. You're not my cross to bear. I see you in a different light.
I drove my car in the middle of the night. I just wanted to see you so bad. The road was dark but the stars were bright. I just wanted to see you so bad.
It wasn't the time, it was the color. My mother wore a yellow dress. Carrying my brother. The summer always stung. . Bright like metal. The bank was built.
In the doorway, in the doorway. It was easy to forget. With his hands upon my waist. In my old Italian dress, I was dizzy, I was guilty. I wanted to confess in the doorway.
The sun reflected on a passing car. Flashed like a signal or a star. I saw myself die under an on coming semi. Wanting to say I love planet earth. . One road goes through the reservation.
Never treats me sweet and gentle. The way he should. I got it bad. And that ain't good. . My poor heart is sentimental. Not made of wood. I got it bad.
I don't mind, I'll take a chance. Perhaps I'll find some sweet romance. So stand a bit closer. Cause I don't mind. . I don't mind the ache and pain. I know love is blind and so insane.
Oh wake up my darlin' the night is old. Dawn is falling on the valley below. Today you must leave for a far distant shore. Oh wake up, the night is old.
I won't say your name. I won't call you up or come around. Try to stay or let you down. I will only disappear. And I won't leave a trace of where I've been.
I tore my letter up, I couldn't even start. To tell you what's really here in my heart. There's only so much that words can say. So I send you a piece of this beautiful day.
Hope you like the way I talk, the way I smile, the way I walk. Hope you're into how I dress, the way I think and all the rest.. . Cause'I'm gonna get you, You're gonna' love me.
Some may say, that an empty-handed man. Will do all he can to hold someone again. But I say to hell with it all. Till there ain't nothin' left to condemn.
Last night beneath the covers,. I asked about your old lover.. And were you seeing my face or his.. You said, "The past is better left where it is.". Then you turned your back with a sigh,.
That's what I'm talkin' about. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. . I cut my teeth on an old lawn-mower. Cleanin' out gutters, doin' other people's chores. After school, weekends an' holidays.
Though all the wealth of men was mine to squander. And towers of ivory rose beneath my feet. Were palaces of pleasure mine to wander. The sum of it would leave me incomplete.
You were once a sweet little girl. So innocent and pure. Your eyes were open and sure. Anyone could look right in. . And I followed closely your gaze.
Seeing your face in every child that smiles. But I can't help but rejoice. And I have heard the song called 'Thunder'. But I knew it was your voice. .
Every morning I watch you walk into the office. In your business suit and matching shoes. With your hair put up neatly, you tug at your glasses. And you you sit down, just three desks down.
