lyrics

The shyest side of the shiningest eyes
shone bright like an neon Open sign
Look down at the hands of the doctor
Look up at the hands of the clocktower

This is a story of love never ending
It’s new enemies you’re befriending
The happiest days were spent waking and walking
The happiest nights were spent drinking and talking

You got me through a terrible time
You drew me over and over but you didn’t draw me over
All our friends wondered who those two were
and we wondered too

Train lines and bus lines
Chicago: carried you ‘round the block
Some buy candy and flowers, some stay in bed for hours,
some dance ‘til they drop

When we said goodbye
it was more like a cry
of “I love you”
I loved you

When we shook hands as if just friends,
mother called to make sure and make damn sure you were alone but
we had to stay for one last happy ending
We had to smile and to try not to cry
Promise me you will try and always try

This is a story of love never ending
and, if I die, I was not pretending
