Song To Bobby
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I wanna tell you
I've always
Wanted to tell you
But I never
Had the chance to sing
What I feel in my heart
From the beginning
To my dying day
I was fifteen
Sixteen maybe
In the park
I was waving my arms
You were aware
I could swear
And you sang the song
That I was screaming
I wanted you to
Another time
Was in South Carolina
It's always been
The third encore
Who's wind came blowin' in?
Can you tell me
Who were you singing for?
Oh, my God can you tell me
Who you were singing to?
Phone call
From your New York City office
You were supposedly
Asking to see me
Oh, how I wanted to tell you
But I was just
Only 400 miles away
Who could believe
That you were calling
I was in DC
I was 400 miles behind
Backstage pass in my hand
Giving you my heart
Was my plan
I wish I could tell you
My chance
In the middle
Of a stadium in Paris, France
Can I finally tell you?
Can I finally tell you?
To, be my man
April, Paris, can I see you
Can you please be my man
