Vs 1

You’re wearin’ nice shoes and ya… you’re wearin’ nice hat.

I like your clothes when you… you wear them like that.

Everybody here’s comin’… down on you.

At least that’s what, you think they’re tryin’ to do.

Vs 2

You hold your head high lookin’… up to the sky.

Everything about you just says you’re confident.

Your auburn hair shines when the… sun breaks through.

Can’t think of no one… ain’t kind to you.

Chorus

When we go walkin’ in the park on a winter’s day…

Everybody’s eyes are lookin’ your way.

Vs 3

But now you’re tellin’ me… that you can’t go on.

It hurts like hell to hear you talk like that.

You’re sayin’, “My life, it ain’t goin’ nowhere…

And pretty soon, I won’t be here.”

Chorus

It seems like only yesterday you were sayin’.

Tellin’ me you could take on the world.

Vs 4

Rosy red lips and…a beautiful smile.

I’d love to kiss you, one more time.

From fields of joy, to lawn of pain.

I never thought it was gonna end like that.

Chorus

It seems like only yesterday you were sayin’.

Tellin’ me you could take on the world.
