I Start Counting Lyrics - Dusty Springfield

(Basil Kirchin / Jack Nathan / James Coleman / Patrick Ryan) 

This year, next year 

Sometime never 

Paper dreams tied up 

With bits of string 

Darkness comes 

Flowers grow 

No-one knows 

I start counting 

I start counting

Sitting by myself in a secret 

Chasing thoughts through rainbows in my mind, yeah 

Changing time 

Tomorrow's dream 

In between 

I start counting 

Counting, yes I do 

Counting, counting, counting, counting, counting 

Ooh-hoo-oo, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve etc.
