Mem’ries,
Light the corners of my mind
Misty water-colored memories
Of the way we were
Memories, pressed between the pages of my mind
Memories, sweetened thru the ages just like 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
Red red wine you make me feel so fine
You keep me rocking all of the time
Red red wine you make me feel so grand
I feel a million dollars when you’re just in my hand
Look at all my trials and tribulations
Sinking in a gentle pool of wine.
What’s that in the bread?
It’s gone to my head.
Till this evening is this morning life is fine.
Well I can’t help thinking
About the times
You were a wife of mine
You aimed to please me
Cooked black-eyed peas-me
Made elderberry wine
Now I’ve been happy lately, thinking about the good things to come
And I believe it could be, something good has begun
Oh I’ve been smiling lately, dreaming about the world as one
And I believe it could be, some day it’s going to come
Gonna write a song so she can see
Give her all the love she gives to me
Talk of better days that have yet to come
Never felt this love from anyone
She’s not anyone
It’s the last song I’ll ever write for you
It’s the last time that I’ll tell you
Just how much I really care
This is the last song I’ll ever sing for you
You come looking for the light and it won’t be there
But I love you, oh, yes I do, yes I do
He remembers the fun and the teasin’
And the reason he wrote her this song.
I’ll give you a daisy a day, dear.
I’ll give you a daisy a day.
Just yesterday morning, they let me know you were gone.
Suzanne, the plans they made put an end to you.
I walked out this morning and I wrote down this song,
I just can’t remember who to send it to.
But he offered to give me the address
That they were forwarding her letters to.
I just took it and returned to the cabbie
And said “I got one more fare for you.”
Get up off the floor and believe in life
No-one’s ever gonna ever ask you twice
Get on the bus and bring it on home to me
Another one rides the bus
Another one rides the bus
Another comes on and another comes on
Another one rides the bus
Hey, who’s gonna sit by you
Another one rides the bus
Don’t play that song
That “Achy Breaky” song
The most annoying song I know
And if you play that song
That “Achy Breaky” song
I might blow up my radio, oh
This song is just six words long
This song is just six words long
This is your song
To keep you when the nights are lonely
Only for you darling
You’re all that I’ve waited for
And this song, my love is yours for evermore
And you can tell everybody this is your song
It may be quite simple but now that it’s done
I hope you don’t mind
I hope you don’t mind
That I put down in words
How wonderful life is while you’re in the world
It’s a small world after all
It’s a small world after all
It’s a small world after all
It’s a small, small world
:: You have a very mean streak, Annie-Xmas. It will take me days to get that song out of my head :mad: ::
John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt,
His name is my name too.
Whenever we go out,
The people always shout,
There goes John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt.
