Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
I've been reeling home A broken shopping trolley Wheels on the wrong How come wisdom Came on strong But it's too late to be done Words are but dust of stars When they collide I get lost in the sparks Explode into the dark And move like light on the sea I think I'm gonna cry But I'm gonna laugh about it All in time I know I'm gonna cry But I'm gonna laugh about it All in time, all in time my head's hanging so low I'm kicking it When I walk down the road And your words explode Employ a search light to see I think I'm gonna it takes me unawares All the magic that hides Inside your stares Always one more peak to climb It really seems there is no finishing line I think I'm gonna cry
