You laughed and called me lucky for having you around
|
And you stepped up to the bar and started swaying
|
The crowd all sang Ophelia as we drank another round
|
Oh bye bye, bye bye baby
|
The rain fell on the window as we watched the sailors dance
|
You kissed my hand and said you were beside me
|
I held on in a moment when I thought there was a chance
|
Oh bye bye, bye bye baby
|
Way out in the distance where the waters fade to blue
|
You used to say tomorrow was a foolish thing to do
|
I thought I'd seen it all before but nothing quite like you
|
Oh bye bye, bye bye baby
|
I'd read to you the letters that had blown in from the west
|
And we'd whisper of the dreams that we'd been saving
|
You said you'd have it all, nothing more, nothing less
|
Oh bye bye, bye bye baby
|
Now there's an emptiness standing at the door
|
Trying to take me back to the way I was before
|
I used to feel lonely but it's not that way no more
|
Oh bye bye, bye bye baby
|
Now the drunks have turned to strangers
|
And the stars are out of tune
|
As I think about the one who might have saved me
|
I know you're out there somewhere between the highway and the moon
|
Oh bye bye, bye bye baby
|
Oh bye bye, bye bye baby
|
|

Bye Bye Baby
