Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
You never knew yourself well enough But she never knew you at all And when she put you out on your own It may have stolen your innocence But not your soul Tell me where is little boy blue You'll find him standing always One step ahead Fast a little, shy a little, boy blue Wise blood runs warms and deep On the street ...Kids walking, just a kid walking You send a letter with photographs And I'll tuck them under my dreams And if we wake up old beyond our years Not quite as brave as we seem It's just the pain that never disappears Tell me where is boy blue You'll find him standing always one step ahead... Dance a little, cry a little... Where are you boy blue Where are you...
