Keeps decent time
Though my ears may be weak
And my eyes may be all but blind
I still have sense enough to fear
That I'm not much without you near
I've paid my dues
Loved one or two
But it still keeps boiling down to you
So choose to be my victory or vice
Either way I still want you here tonight
Heaven knows, it's hard to find another
Hell knows, it's got a home for folks like me
There will come a day
When the earth will cease to spin
You'll hold me close and say
'My god where have you been?'
I've been around, old Chinatown
Happily lost, but oh so easily found
Counting the stars up on the hill
Beneath some old moon
Humming my tune
I'll see you soon
This heart of mine Keeps decent time Though my ears may be weak And my eyes may be all but blind I still have sense enough to fear That I'm not much without you near I've paid my dues Loved one or two But it still keeps boiling down to you So choose to be my victory or vice Either way I still want you here tonight Heaven knows, it's hard to find another Hell knows, it's got a home for folks like me There will come a day When the earth will cease to spin You'll hold me close and say 'My god where have you been?' I've been around, old Chinatown Happily lost, but oh so easily found Counting the stars up on the hill Beneath some old moon Humming my tune I'll see you soon Explain Request ×
