I Can't Get Started
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've flown around the world in a plane
I've settled revolutions in Spain
The North Pole I have charted
But can't get started with you
Around the golf course I'm under par
And all the movies want me to star
I've got a house, a show place
But I get no place with you
You're so supreme, lyrics I write of you
Scheme, just for a sight of you
Dream, both day and night of you
And what good does it do?
In 1929 I sold short
In England I'm presented at court
But you've got me downhearted
'Cause I can't get started with you
You're so supreme, lyrics I write of you
Scheme, just for a sight of you
Dream, both day and night of you
And what good does it do?
In 1929 I sold short
In England I'm presented at court
But you've got me downhearted
'Cause I can't get started with you
