Lyrics
The Road
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.
You packed your books last night, you break with the past tonight.
I hope you find some beach house on the coast out there with plenty of light.
Cause I know the road is very long
But in my head I'll always hold your song
And I'll keep a good thought for you.
I'll keep a good thought for you.
You left us "The Best of Frank" and on the back you signed your name.
"One For My Baby" was underlined again.
Now I know the road is very long
But in my head I'll always hold your song,
And I'll keep a good thought for you -
If you're lonely think of me.
I'll keep a good thought for you -
If you're lonely think of me.
There's a couple you knew quite well, they moved away last Spring,
And though he can't find suits they don't miss much of anything.
They're raising a baby now.
At least that's one gift that this world allows.
And I'll keep a good thought for you,
I'll keep a good thought for you.
Cause I know the road is very long
But in my head I'll always hold your song,
And I'll keep a good thought for you -
If you're lonely think of me.
