I know a magical place to get a taste of a little heaven on earth. It's just a watering hole but many a soul go there to quench their thirst. When my whistle's dry there's nowhere that I can think of I'd rather be.
What happened to the world we painted. The masterpiece of me and you. Our work of art has all but faded. Nothing's here except the blues. Love's crumbling, love's tumbling down.
I'm skipping across the stars. Hopping from moon to moon. Higher than a kite's been before. Made my way to Mars. Venus and Neptune. If I was scared of heights.
(Wait, let me get the sweat off my fingers). . You crawl back tonight saying you miss me. With your tail between your legs. What's going on here ain't no mystery.
Children say that words will never harm you. Only sticks and stones will make you cry. But they'll grow up one day and learn the real truth. When the one they love says goodbye.
If the moon could conceal. How it feels when it shines. And the stars could disguise. The beauty the skies reveal. Then the fire I try to hide in my heart.
I found your bag this morning. Did you pack it by yourself. If you would've asked me. I'd have given you some help. . I hate to disappoint you. But I had a hunch.
In nineteen and double-aught. A harlot who was hot to trot. Gave a fine little bijou to the world. With a blacksmith for a makeshift doc. In a cathouse far from camelot.
It's nearly 3 a.m.. And still no sight of him. When it comes to love. I'm in the dark. . Lord, I don't understand. Why I stand by my man. All he's ever done.
You say the time has come for you to go. Why you've decided this, I'll never know. You say you've lost the love you felt for me. Well, baby, you won't find it if you leave.
I apologize. I should've kept it hidden. Under wraps and out of sight. At least in the beginning. But I wanted you to see. What you meant to me. Turns out that wasn't smart.
You've finally gone and done it. Broke it right in two. There's no way you can fix it. So pocket your excuse. Don't tell me that you're sorry. That'll only make it worse.
I've been walking these mean streets. Hard concrete beneath my feet. Ain't found a friendly face among the crowd. The city's like a Christmas tree. A light for every dreamer's dream.
Sorrow, I'm told. Comes and goes. But that ain't what I say. . 'Cause for me. The misery. Never goes away. . It's been like this. Ever since. You told me goodbye.
Is it worth it. You gotta wonder. No sane person. Would say it was. . It's for certain. We're going under. Things ain't working. Between the two of us.
Heard the preacher at the service. Declare you'd gone home that day. To meet the maker and his servants. And take a rest amidst his grace. . He said now that you're in heaven.
I found a letter that you wrote me. It said I was your one and only. And you would never ever leave my loving arms. But the truth is all that matters.
Don't you look pretty. Dressed to the nines. Comfortably sitting. On your gold mine. Blood red and blonde. Lipstick and curls. A high-heeled don Juan.
Up 'til now my lucky stars shined brightest in the sky. I was living in the lap of the gods. But miss fortune turned the tables and turned out all the light.
The moment these lips said I'm leaving. I felt in my heart I was wrong. But I told myself I might as well. Since I already spent nights alone. . I thought I had put it behind me.
