I know it's the same old song I'm singing
|
But this time these words are just for you
|
That's the only thing that's new
|
I know that I've sung about a million
|
Borrowed lines and phrases from a few
|
This one's till as good as new
|
Without the fanfare I love you
|
|
By day I move words around like flowers
|
I deliver by the afternoon
|
"Cause the piper calls the tune
|
Today I made full use of the hours
|
I explored the smallest avenue
|
And that feeling still came through
|
Without the fanfare I love you
|
|
Sure I've lost my way sometimes
|
But I've had to pay
|
Sometimes I've gone completely overboard
|
Moved a million phrases round, tried to make them leave the ground
|
Still the only line that's soared
|
Bidding all the rest Adieu
|
Sounding still as good as new
|
Without the fanfare I love you
|
|
Hello, do I still have your attention?
|
I forgot to mention thanks again from the captain and the crew
|
And so without the sweet perfume or roses
|
I hope you can still believe it's true
|
Stripped of all that much ado
|
Without the fanfare I love you
|
Without the fanfare I love you
|

Without The Fanfare
