Mine are both swell little fellas Here are some clippings of me and Brad At a charity ball and a White House sup I've perfected my smile for the camera Chin is up I miss you all so much If only I could cross the river But something me holding us back A way of life that's too familiar Like the lines are to the railroad Lines are to the railroad If only we could cross the river We couldn't get a jump-start on life The whispers across the Hudson Grow louder in our ears Louder in our ears If only we could cross the river But something is holding us back A way of life that's too familiar Like the lines are to the railroad Lines are to the railroad Railroad track Related Lyrics Random lyrics: Didnt I?, Dishonest Modesty, Do The Walls Come Down, Dont Smoke In Bed, Dont Wrap It Up, Dont Smoke In Bed, Dont Wrap It Up, Easy On The Eyes, Embrace Me, You Child, EVERY TIME WE SAY GOODBYE, Evry Time We Say Goodbye, Fairweather Father, Film Noir, Fishermans Song, Fishermans Song, Floundering, For Old Times Sake, Forever My Love, From The Heart, Give Me All Night, God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen, Grownup, Half A Chance, HALFWAY ?OUND THE WORLD, Halfway Around The World, Halfway Round The World, Halfway Round The World, Happy Birthday, Happy Christmas (War Is Over), Haunting, Have You Seen Me Lately?, Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas, Havent Got Time for the Pain, He Likes To Roll, He Was Good To Me, He Was Too Good To Me, Heaven, Hello Big Man, His Friends Are More Than Fond Of Robin, Hold What Youve Got, HOLD WHAT YOUE GOT, Hold What Youve Got, Holding Me Tonight, Hotcakes, Hurt, I Forget, I Get Along Without You Very Well, I Got It Bad And That Aint Good, I Got It Bad and That Aint Good, I see your face before me, Other CARLY SIMON song Lyrics We Have No Secret Lyrics A Mothers Intuition Lyrics Actress Lyrics After The Storm Lyrics All I Want Is You Lyrics Alone Lyrics Another Door Lyrics Anticipation Lyrics Anyone But Me Lyrics Are You Ticklish Lyrics As Time Goes By Lyrics ...Show All Other Artists Carly Simon F/ Mindy Jostyn Lyrics Carly Simon & James Taylor Lyrics Carly Simon and James Taylor Lyrics Carly Simon F/ Alex Taylor Lyrics Carly Simon F/ Alex Taylor, Hugh Taylor, James Taylor Lyrics Carly Simon F/ Alex Taylor, Hugh Taylor, James Taylor, Sally Lyrics Carly Simon F/ Andreas Vollenweider Lyrics Carly Simon F/ Ben Taylor Lyrics Carly Simon F/ Ben Taylor, Sally Taylor Lyrics Carly Simon F/ Ben Taylor, Sally Taylor, AlexTaylor, IsaacTa Lyrics All lyrics are property and copyright of their owners and are strictly for educational purposes only. lyricstrue.net Copyright © 2005-2007 All Rights Reserved., , Privacy policy
