V1
Back in the 60's when we were both kids
I remember everything we did
shooting marbles over in the park
You played for keeps, and won my heart
If I knew you were only shooting bull
Today I might seem much less of a fool
Chorus
We played London Bridge is falling down
Hide and seek and kick the can
Skipping rope and skipping stones
Skipping school to be alone, with you
I'd say "May I take a giant step
Into your arms" You'd say "Not yet.""
I still remember days long gone
I was crushed, but you played on
V2
The farmer in the dell was lots of fun
I picked you for my wife, when it was my turn
I never told you just how bad I felt
When you smiled at me and then picked someone else
I saw you K-I-S-S-I-N-G
that bottle never seemed to point at me
Chorus
V3
The games you're playin now, last all night
I could say goodbye, but that wouldn't be right
Cause when you love someone You try to hold on
that's what I have always done, but
I hate this game called "Come Home at Dawn"
And still...you play on.
Chorus

lps45s8tracks | Thanks everyone I appreciate it ever so much.You guys are (:AWESOME:)It sure beats having my lyrics sitting in a brief case collecting dust.Which I have done it seems like forever.I am forever thankful for eddy who believed in these lyrics.I always like the chorus and he must of seen something I did.I just did a re-write on Ducks Fly South.Retitled it Duck.I had to learn how to write to metre.So I do that and my good friend Jimmy songman32 gets that old whip out and says I need to shorten the chorus.I guess it's never done now back to the drawing board.You have all been so helpful.I appreciate it ever so much~(:Yrral Mallik:) [Delete] |
