Oh at night when I sleep Oh the dreams come to me Make me believe that my life is not my own And if life were like my dreams All the things I would see I'd be so much braver than I know
mmmmm
No I can't understand What it means to be a man And to lead a woman from her home And if love were indeed All the things I believe Then I guess I would never feel alone
mmmmm
oh will I ever know?
And if this city never sleeps Does that mean that noone dreams And if that's so Then I guess I'm going home
Put your pretty dress on it's time for you to go to the dance tie your hair in ribbons and lace and wear pearls round your neck And all the pretty princes will see you All the pretty princes will see you Some day Some day
Put your red boots on it's time for you to walk home from school every one will laugh they'll point fingers at you they'll be cruel but cover up your ears and don't listen because you'll know much better than them some day some day
and they'll wave to you and they'll wave to you
put your red coat on and walk with a light in the woods if it gets dark dont get scared there's so much waiting for you cover up your tears and dont show them cause you'll know much better than them some day some day
and they'll wave to you and they'll wave to you and they'll wave to you and they'll wave to you
cause they don't see you like i see you if they did, they'd see the nice litte girl whose grown up to become homecoming queen
put your pretty dress on put your red boots on
and they'll wave to you and they'll wave to you and we'll wave to you and we'll wave to you
put your pretty dress on put your red boots on put your red coat on put your pretty dress on put your pretty dress on put your red coat on put your red boots on put you pretty dress
She's like a sweater, old and used Tossed and overworn too many times through And she used to look so bright All her seams were tightly tied
She's like a sweater that's just worn out Fading, coffee stained, and out of style And she's just about to run Before her stitches come undone
She's gonna pack her bags & leave No more loose, unravelled seams She is young & she still has her confidence And it's not too late to tie up those loose ends
She's like a fire in the rain His words will damp her eyes & heat her veins And the love she thought she found was just another Hand-me-down of dwindled grace
She's gonna pack her bags & leave No more loose, unravelled seams She is young & she still has her confidence And it's not too late to tie up those loose ends
She's found a refuge for her face While dividing her unfortunate displace Now she stands too high for them to ring her dry She's found her way
She's gonna pack her bags & leave No more loose, unravelled seams She is young & she still has her confidence And it's not too late to tie up those loose ends
Boy you said some pretty things Then you close the door on me Then you left me wondering to myself
Where does all the romance go Like we find in picture shows? Maybe I'm feeling sorry for myself
And I know that time will tell Clear as a bell You were not the one I'm sure I'll convince myself To get over you Maybe it will come When the day is done
I hope that you kick yourself Holding hands with someone else Then you realise that she's not the one Some day some boy will fall In love with all my flaws And he sure will be the lucky one
And I know that time will tell Clear as a bell You were not the one I'm sure I'll convince myself To get over you Maybe it will come When the day is done
And I know that time will tell Clear as a bell You were not the one I'm sure I'll convince myself To get over you Maybe it will come When the day is done
Say what you want to say Play this game your way It's over anyway You didn't give it up for love
Take what you want to take Take back the words you'll say They never mattered anyway You didn't give it up for love No you didn't give, give it up for love
When I look through the photographs And I see the smile on your face I remember how you used to feel And I see how much has changed
Say what you want to say I'll carry on the same Maybe you'll look back someday You didn't give it up for love No you didn't give, give it up for love
When I look through the photographs And I see the smile on your face I remember how you used to feel And I see how much has changed
When I look through the photographs And I see the smile on your face I remember how you used to feel And I see how much has changed
Say what you want to say Play this game your way You will know someday You didn't give it up for love No you didn't give, give it up for love No you didn't give, give it up for love
He took me to the hillside He liked to take me there He took me every Saturday He put flowers in my hair
And we laughed like my mother said she once did With my father on his birthday when they went swimming And he took her hand into his And he told her that he loved her And his words held meaning, then
How do we make these moments last? And, how do we get them to stay? When everything passes and time goes away
He took me to the theater He liked to take me there He took me every Saturday We didn't talk in there
And we laughed like my mother said she once did With her sister on her birthday when she was seventeen They took her car out for a spin Along the ocean with the top down And life held meaning then
How do we make these moments last? How do we get them to stay? When everything passes and time goes away
And how do we make these moments last? And, how do we get them to stay? When everything passes and time goes away
I can't, I can't stop crying Everyday I'm so afraid Afraid of dying Death already came and got me Cause I'm not living... I'm not living anyway...
And who am i supposed to be? Everybody seems to see except for me Who cares anyway.... Cause when it's over, It's all over, and what you gain you throw away
When will love ever find me? All my life all I've craved is to be seen Who cares anyway... Cause when it's over, All that matters is the love you gave away
I'm wandering I'm crawling I'm two steps away from falling I just can't seem to get around I'm heavy I'm weary I'm not thinking clearly I just can't seem to find solid ground Since you've been around
I'm running I'm hiding I'm afraid you'll never find me because I've always felt lost in the crowd I'm sinking I'm drowning I'm so afraid of losing my head's been spinning round and round since you've been around.
I'm foolish and crazy I just think that maybe I've got a lot of things to figure out I'm winning I'm losing I'm afraid of never choosing this heart of mine was so beaten down before you came around
Why waste your time? There is nothing left Voices in your head tell you to do it No one will care No one will know Everyone just looks out for themselves
It's so hard letting go Letting go of love It might cause some pain, I know But pain is all we've got
Why waste more time? Time is all you have Be careful what you say they'll hold you to it No one will care No one will know Everyone feels sorry for themselves
It's so hard letting go Letting go of love It might cause some pain, I know But pain is all you've got It may be the only way to know That you can get yourself back up

New York is lovely in the winter time All the sidewalks are white as snow The buildings, all the people that pass me by How the smile on his face says he's in love
I took the train all the way to Brooklyn Heights I remember when you took it there with me We sat side by side and held hands for some time We saluted the Statue of Liberty
I have much farther to go Everything is new and so unpredictable I should just kick my heels together and go home But I'm not sure where that is anymore
Oh, how I wish I could go back in time To the night when I heard my mother cry She held me in her arms and we talked for some time And I sang a song her mother sang to her and it goes
Something about paper dolls and what men prefer Something about the cross and how her Jesus died for her Something about love and how the truth fighting for I wonder does love like that exist anymore?
And I, I have much farther to go And I, I'm so confused I know I should just kick my heels together and go home But I lost my way when I lost you
Sometimes I cry when it's late at night And you're not there to lay next to me Morning breaks and the sun warms my face How I wish it was you warming me
Tonight I'm like a paper doll Dress me in what you wish I had on And I will not say a thing I'll just keep smiling
Here I am, wordless again You dress me up different ways Flat and thin Speechless within You dress me up different ways And I just can't be sure I'll ever change
And I do not like the clothes I wear I'd sooner throw them into the air But I will not say a thing I'll just keep smiling
Here I am, wordless again You dress me up different ways Flat and thin Speechless within You dress me up different ways And I just can't be sure I'll ever change
Why is it now You've cut me out Of everything I was used to Now it's not that I stand here with no choice I will choose now to raise up my voice
Here I am, wordless again Wordless again And I just can't be sure I'll ever change
Tonight I'm like a paper doll Cut from the page I once lived on And I will not say a thing I'll just keep smiling I'll just keep smiling I'll just keep smiling I'll just keep smiling
Oh, tie me to the end of a kite So I can go on, I can go on with my life Every marigold I pass below Will be my guiding light I just want to go away from here
Oh, tie me to the end of a kite So I can go on, I can go on with my life Every time the wind blows stronger I will feel my spirit rise I just want to go away from here
Oh, tie me up and tightly by your side So I may go with you where ever you reside Anytime the road looks dimmer I will be your guiding light I just want to go away with you I just want to go away with you
If i find him If i just follow Would he hold me and never let me go Woulf he let me borrow his wool winter coat I don't know, I don't know
If i see her standing there alone At the tain station, three stops from home I have half a mind to say what i'm thinking anyway But i don't know, I don't know
There's an airpane in the sky With a banner right behind "Loneliness is just a crime" Look each other in the eye And say hello-o-o-o-o And sau hello-o-o-o-o
hey there, How you doing? Hi, my name is Mary. Hi....
