The Breaks
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.
"Lean forward slightly, Look straight at the speaker and listen with a sparkle in your eye as though you might be thinking 'gee this is the most wonderful thing I've ever heard in all my life'"
Back in the day, we were eye to eye
The thought of you has me runnin' wild
They say love lost will never grow but hey, hey, hey
I still love you so
Oh when we met you know the sun did shine from your eyes back into mine
Oh if the sun shines no more, hey, hey, hey
I still love you so
I'll beg the moon and the stars above, bring me back my - that gal I love
I know you're gone, you're gone for sure, but hey, hey, hey
I still love you so
