The thrill is gone  
The thrill is gone away  
The thrill is gone, baby  
The thrill is gone away  
You know you done me wrong, baby  
And you’ll be sorry someday

Thrill me (thrill me), thrill me (thrill me)  
Walk me down the lane where shadows  
Will be (will be) will be (will be)  
Hiding lovers just the same as we’ll be, we’ll be  
When you make me tell you I love you

Hold me, thrill me, kiss me, kill me

Come on, come on, come on, come on  
Now touch me, babe  
Can’t you see that I am not afraid?  
What was that promise that you made?  
Why won’t you tell me what she said?  
What was that promise that you made?

Come on  
Let the spirit inside you  
Don’t wait to be found  
Come along with our sound  
Let the spirit move you  
Let the waves come up  
They’ll fuse you  
I never met no one to deny our sound

Goin’ up to the spirit in the sky (spirit in the sky)  
That’s where I’m gonna go when I die (when I die)  
When I die and they lay me to rest  
I’m gonna go to the place that’s the best

The time has come again, rejoice you’re dead,  
And walk on through the open door.  
It’s nowhere that you haven’t, my friend  
A million times or maybe more

Sometimes I go and walk the street  
Behind the green sheet of glass  
A million miles below their feet  
A million miles, a million miles

Where every evening I can stare  
At someone smiling from his chair  
Across the floor  
A million miles away behind the door

I look at her and she looks at me  
In her eyes I see the sea  
I can’t see what she sees in a man like me  
She says she loves me

Her eyes  
Her eyes  
Her eyes are a blue million miles

I started drifting to a different place  
Just trying to hold on to the hand of the past and you  
And there was nothing left to bring me back

I’m a million miles away  
A million miles away  
I’m a million miles away  
And there’s nothing left to bring me back today

Well I keep holdin’ on to yesterday  
I keep holdin’ on enough to say  
That I’m wrong

I keep thinkin’ that I’m lonely  
But it’s only missing you inside  
Days that we were once together  
Seems they’ll never come alive

Yesterday when I was young  
The taste of life was sweet as rain upon my tongue  
I teased at life as if it were a foolish game  
The way the evening breeze may tease a candle flame

Get out of my mind  
My love for you is way out of line  
Better run, girl  
You’re much too young, girl

Dark as the night comes to share  
With stars in her hair  
And grand majestic flair  
Framed, a world passes by  
With the sound of a young girl’s sigh  
Man carrying a brow  
Smoke rises from the crowd

Now, laughing friends deride tears I cannot hide  
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, so I smile and say  
“When a lovely flame dies  
Smoke gets in your eyes”

_Smoke gets in your eyes. The Ink Spots_

You left me here on your way to paradise

Summer rain falls  
Head for some shelter  
Close to a wall  
See the lady dressed in chance  
You try to help her  
She heeds your call  
On the way to paradise

Ornamental  
Or warm and gentle  
On the way to paradise
