Lyrics

[00:19] Once upon a midnight dearie
[00:22] I woke with something in my head
[00:26] I couldn't escape the memory
[00:29] Of a phone call and of what you said
[00:32] Like a game show contestant with a parting gift
[00:35] I could not believe my eyes
[00:38] When I saw through the voice of a trusted friend
[00:41] Who needs to humor me and tell me lies
[00:44] Yeah humor me and tell me lies
[00:48] And I'll lie too and say I don't mind
[00:51] And as we seek so shall we find
[00:54] And when you're feeling open I'll still be here
[00:57] But not without a certain degree of fear
[01:01] Of what will be with you and me
[01:03] I still can see things hopefully
[01:06] But you
[01:09] Why you wanna give me a run-around
[01:12] Is it a sure-fire way to speed things up
[01:16] When all it does is slow me down
[01:23] And shake me and my confidence
[01:26] About a great many things
[01:29] But I've been there I can see it cower
[01:32] Like a nervous magician waiting in the wings
[01:35] Of a bad play where the heroes are right
[01:38] And nobody thinks or expects too much
[01:42] And Hollywood's calling for the movie rights
[01:44] Singing hey babe let's keep in touch
[01:47] Hey baby let's keep in touch
[01:51] But I want more than a touch I want you to reach me
[01:54] And show me all the things no one else can see
[01:57] So what you feel bes mine as well
[02:00] And soon if we're lucky we'd be unable to tell
[02:03] What's yours and mine the fishing's fine
[02:07] And it doesn't have to rhyme so don't feed me a line
[02:09] But you
[02:12] Why you wanna give me a run-around
[02:15] Is it a sure-fire wa to speed things up
[02:19] When all it does is slow me down
[02:44] Tra la la la la bomba dear this is the pilot speaking
[02:47] And I've got some news for you
[02:51] It seems my ship still stands no matter what you drop
[02:54] And there ain't a whole lot that you can do
[02:57] Oh sure the banner may be torn and the wind's gotten colder
[03:00] Perhaps I've grown a little cynical
[03:04] But I know no matter what the waitress brings
[03:06] I shall drink in and always be full
[03:10] My cup shall always be full
[03:14] Oh I like coffee
[03:15] And I like tea
[03:16] I'd like to be able to enter a final plea
[03:19] I still got this dream that you just can't shake
[03:22] I love you to the point you can no longer take
[03:25] Well all right okay
[03:27] So be that way
[03:29] I hope and pray
[03:30] That there's something left to say
[03:32] But you
[03:34] Why you wanna give me a run-around
[03:38] Is it a sure-fire way to speed things up
[03:41] When all it does is slow me down
[03:44] But you
[03:47] Why you wanna give me a run-around
[03:50] Is it a sure-fire way to speed things up
[03:54] When all it does is slow me down
