If I could save time in a bottle
The first thing that I’d like to do
Is to save every day
'Til eternity passes away
Just to spend them with you
But, you’re all alone in those Time passages
I know you’re in there
You’re just out of sight
Time passages
Buy me a ticket…
Time, flowing like a river,
Time, beckoning me,
Who knows when we shall meet again,
If ever?
But time,
Keeps flowing like a river,
To the sea…
Time has come today
Young hearts can go their way
Can’t put it off another day
I don’t care what others say
They say we don’t listen anyway
Time has come today
-“BB”-
Today, while the blossoms still cling to the vine
I’ll taste your strawberries, I’ll drink your sweet wine
A million tomorrows shall all pass away
E’er I forget all the joy that is mine, today
The fields have grown over now
Years since they’ve seen the plow
There’s nothing time hasn’t touched
Is it really him or the loss of my innocence
I’ve been missing so much
Like strawberry wine and seventeen
The hot July moon saw everything
My first taste of love oh bittersweet
Green on the vine
Like strawberry wine
Strawberry wine
Strawberry wine
Bottle of wine, fruit of the vine
When you gonna let me get sober
Leave me alone, let me go home
Let me go home and start over
When I was a young man I’d never been kissed;
I got to thinking about what I had missed.
I found a girl. I kissed her and then…
Oh Lord, I kissed her again.
Oooooh, kisses sweeter than wine.
Oooooh, kisses sweeter than wine.
It’s the way you love me
It’s a feeling like this
It’s centrifugal motion
It’s perpetual bliss
It’s that pivotal moment
It’s impossible
This kiss, this kiss (Unstoppable)
This kiss, this kiss
Does he love me, I want to know
How can I tell if he loves me so
Is it in his eyes, oh no you’ll be deceived
Is it in his eyes, oh no you’ll make believe
If you want to know, if he loves you so
It’s in his kiss
Does he love me? Or does he love me not?
Do I love him? And is it strong enough?
One kiss, one kiss
It all comes down to this
One kiss, one kiss
Oh, oh, oh, oh
One kiss, one kiss
This moment could be it
I, I, I wanna know
So here I go
When they insist on knowing my bliss
I tell them this
When they want to know what the reason is
I only smile when I lie, then I tell them why
(Because your kiss) your kiss is on my list
As some day it may happen that a victim must be found
I’ve got a little list — I’ve got a little list
Of society offenders who might well be underground
And who never would be missed — who never would be missed!
My object all sublime
I shall achieve in time–
To let the punishment fit the crime–
The punishment fit the crime;
And make each prisoner pent
Unwillingly represent
A source of innocent merriment!
Of innocent merriment!
A criminal mind,
Is all I’ve ever known.
They tried to reform me,
But I’m made of cold stone.
I turned 21 in prison,
Doing life without parole
No one could steer me right
But, Mama tried
Mama tried…
Dupe
Mama, just killed a man,
Put a gun against his head,
Pulled my trigger, now he’s dead.
Mama, life had just begun,
But now I’ve gone and thrown it all away…
I remember when I was a lad what a fine baseball team we had,
Folks would come from miles around to see us play.
We played the White Sox and beat their sox off,
We played the Red Legs and beat their legs off,
We played the Astros… but it rained that day.
Daddy played first base, Mama played second,
Brother and sister were the catcher and the pitcher,
Shortstop was a good old boy named Sue.
Three big, home run-hittin’ guys
Were in the outfield shaggin’ flies;
Brothers Art and Bart and cousin Fargo, too.
-“BB”-
Then suddenly everyone’s looking at me
My mind has been wandering; what could it be?
They point at the sky and I look up above
And a baseball falls into my glove!
