| A dream that's old A song that's new Money borrowed, guitar blue True love tries, but had to fail When distance, time, and space prevail I can still see the clothes we wore And the bar next door and the dirty floor And the day we left home for a rock and roll tour of America There was Milo and me it's true And the songs we knew, and a picture of you And a beat up van with a guitar in my hand so I can work it through Lonely American nights Can make you hungry for the arms of someone new But put me under the lights I'd never jepordize the trust I had with you And I hope you found another lover with a heart that is true Someone to say to you Chorus: Hold tight, shine bright, tonight I'll be coming right home to you Day light, stay bright, it's alright I'll be making it home to you We used to pray for the end of school For a favorte tune up in my bedroom Where I would wait for you baby in the parking lot To catch you in the afternoon Do you remember the way we talked when I dropped you off Til the sun came up When I awoke to find you sleeping at the opposite end of the telephone But everything has a price Ambition ordered me to do what I must do Another lover sacraficed Another offer to the Gods of losing you And I hope you realize my heart will always hold a place for you Whan I used to say to you Chorus- repeat And where were you baby When the wheels on my bus broke down And where was I darlin When you needed me to be around And I suppose I'll never find another lover with a heart so true Someone to say to you Hold tight Tonigh Day Light It's alright Chorus-repeat 1 1/2 times |
