Where We Start
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.
Lookin’ at your childhood face
On the pillow where you lie
Maybe when a good thing´s gone
One is born before our eyes
Standin’ here alone in this room with you
All you were before and all you will be, too
Penetrates my lonely, lonely heart
Oh, baby, baby, baby, baby, this is where we start
Waking to this dream of life
Honey, there’s no cause to hide
Risin’ like a breath of ease
All the world is on our side
All alone in this room with you
All the things you are and all you will be, too
Penetrates, devastates my lonely heart
Oh, baby, baby, baby, baby, this is where we start
Oh, baby, baby, baby, baby, this is where we start
Hand me down my dancing shoes
Hand me down my silver wings
Take me out to town tonight, yes
So I can hear my angels sing
Lying here with you, I raise my eyes
And I pray that time, time, will pass us by
To remain inside the beating of you heart
Oh, baby, baby, baby, baby, this is where we start
Oh, baby, baby, baby, baby, this is where we start
Oh, baby, baby, baby, baby, this is where we start
