YOU COULDN'T GET THE PICTURE
|
WRITER CHUCK HARTER
|
|
I walked In the front door,
|
Turned the light on in the hall.
|
Then I saw the post-it notes
|
That she had stuck up on the wall.
|
The first one said, "I love you,
|
but I can't live on love alone."
|
|
The Little yellow post-it-notes
|
were stuck up everywhere.
|
One was on the microwave
|
and one on the Fridgidaire.
|
It said "I cried all night
|
but you weren't there to watch the teardrops fall."
|
But if you couldn't get the picture
|
Maybe you can read the writing on the wall.
|
|
Sometimes you do what you've gotta do
|
If ya do anything at all.
|
Sometimes it takes a freight train comin'
|
Sometimes it takes a mountian to fall
|
Sometimes you do what you've gotta do
|
Sometimes you gotta walk before you crawl
|
And if you couldn't get the picture
|
Maybe you can read the writing on the wall.
|
|
The post-it note on Her pillow said,
|
"The lonely nights were hell"
|
The one on the mirror said,
|
"Take a good look at yourself"
|
And the one she put on the closet door Said,
|
"I waited long enough for you to call."
|
And if you couldn't get the picture
|
Maybe you can read the writing on the wall.
|
|
Sometimes you do what you've gotta do
|
If ya do anything at all.
|
But if you couldn't get the picture,
|
Maybe you can read the writing on the wall.
|
And if you couldn't get the picture,
|
Maybe you can read the writing on the wall.
