fifty years have ridden off into the sunset
|
|
I'm sorry but I'm just thinking of
the right words to say
I know they don't sound the way
I planned them to be
But if you wait around a while
I'll make you fall for me
I promise, I promise you I will

Slow-dancing on the boulevard
In the quiet moments while the city's still dark
Sleepwalking through the summer rain
In the tired spaces you could hear her name
When she was warm and tender
And you held her arms around you
There was nothing but her love and affection
She was crazy for you
Now she's part of something that you lost
And for all you know, this could be
The difference between what you need
And what you want to be
Yeah, what you want to be
Night swimming in her diamond dress
Making small circles move across the surface
Stand watching from the steady shore
Feeling wide open and waiting for
Something warm and tender
Now she's moving further from you
There was nothing that could make it easy on you
Every step you take reminds you
That she's walking on
And for all you know, this could be
The difference between what you need
And what you want
Every word you never said
Echoes down your empty hallway
And everything that was your world
Just came down
Day breaking on the boulevard
Feel the sun warming up your secondhand heart
Light swimming right across your face
And you think maybe someday, yeah maybe someday
For all you know, this could be
The difference between what you need
And what you want
For all you know
For all you know
For all that you know
This is what you want to be
Yeah, what you want to be
