It's nine o'clock on a Saturday, the regular crowd shuffles in / There's an old man sitting next to me making love to his tonic and gin / He says, 'Son, can you play me a memory?/ I'm not really sure how it goes / But it's sad and it's sweet, and I knew it complete when I wore a younger man's clothes.'
You've given me the best of you, but now I need the rest of you.
So before we end and then begin, we'll drink a toast to how it's been. A few more hours to be complete, a few more nights on satin sheets. A few more times that I can say, that I've loved these days.
What will it take for you to believe in me, the way that I believe in you?
Slow down you're doing fine You can't be everything you want to be before your time.
There's a deep-seated paranoia that Americans have about not being Americans or something.
I can't think of one person I've ever met who didn't like some type of music.
Do what's good for you Or you're not good for anybody
Don't be afraid to try again everyone goes south every now and then.
Hey Lord, would ya look out for her tonight, and make sure that all her dreams are sweet? Said now, would ya guide her on the roads, and make them softer for her feet? Hey Lord, would ya look out for her tonight, and make sure that she's gonna be alright, until she's home and here with me.
I've come to realize that life is not a musical comedy, it's a Greek tragedy.
You've got your passion. You've got your pride. But don't you know that only fools are satisfied? Dream on, but don't imagine they'll all come true.
If I need a cause for celebration, Or a comfort I can use to ease my mind, I rely on my imagination, And I dream of an imaginary time.
Well I never had a place that I could call my very own/That's all right, my love, 'cause you're my home.
