High vibration go on to the sun
O let my heart dreaming
Past all mortal as me
Where can I be
But, where is my baby,
Where can she be,
Won’t somebody please,
Send my baby back to me…
By the way, by the way
When we walk up to the preacher I’ll say
Yes sir, that’s my baby
No sir, I don’t mean maybe
Yes sir, that’s my baby now
In the midnight moonlight
I’ll be walking a long and lonely mile.
And every time I do,
I keep seeing this picture of you.
Here comes my baby, here she comes now,
And-a it comes as no surprise to me
With another guy
I put your picture away,
Sat down and cried today,
I can’t look at you while I’m lying next to her…
I found a picture of you, oh oh oh oh
What hijacked my world that night
To a place in the past
We’ve been cast out of? Oh oh oh oh
Now we’re back in the fight
I keep your picture
Upon the wall
It hides a nasty stain that’s lying there
So don’t you ask me
To give it back
I know you know it doesn’t mean that much to me
She was pure like snowflakes–
No one could ever stain,
The memory of my angel,
Could never cause me pain.
Years go by, I’m lookin’ through a girly magazine,
And there’s my homeroom angel on the pages in-between!
Everytime I see your face,
It reminds of the places we used to go,
But all I got is a photograph,
And I realize you’re not coming back anymore…
That face, that face, that wonderful face!
It shines, it glows all over the place.
And how I love to watch it change expressions.
Each look becomes the pride of my possessions.
And those of us with ravaged faces,
Lacking in the social graces,
Desperately remained at home,
Inventing lovers on the phone.
Who called to say “Come dance with me,”
And murmured vague obscenities.
It isn’t all it seems, at seventeen.
Well, she was just seventeen
You know what I mean
And the way she looked
Was way beyond compare
So how could I dance with another
Ooh, when I saw her standing there?
(And Spoons, that Janis Ian song is one of the saddest songs I’ve ever heard. I love it! But it’s sad.)
You are the dancing queen, young and sweet,
Only seventeen.
Dancing queen, feel the beat from the tambourine, oh yeah.
You can dance, you can jive,
Having the time of your life…
(Leaffan, I agree with your assessment of “At Seventeen.” High school was cruel, in many ways.)
Hey Mister Tambourine Man, play a song for me
I’m not sleepy and there ain’t no place I’m goin’ to
Hey Mister Tambourine Man, play a song for me
In the jingle jangle morning, I’ll come followin’ you
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way…
Then one day
A magic day he passed my way
And while he spoke of many things
Fools and kings
This he said to me
The greatest thing
You’ll ever learn
Is to love
And be loved in return
All you need is love, love,
Love is all you need…
(She loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Do you need anybody
i need somebody to love
could it be anybody
i want somebody to love.
Would you believe in a love at first sight
yes, i’m certain that it happens all the time
what do you see when you turn out the light
i can’t tell you but i know it’s mine,
Just remember what your old pal said.
Boy, you’ve got a friend in me,
Yeah, you’ve got a friend in me…
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you’ve got to do is call
And I’ll be there, (yeah yeah yeah)
You’ve got a friend
