Well I've played a lot of music since but I really haven't grown that far Somebody said that you're just yellow. So I keep it up on the shelf And it's funny how you keep it all to yourself Hey honey, could there ever be, Should there ever be, Could there ever be something else? You know I used to swing my silver sword, the dragons hit the ground Whatever happened to the maidens? Well I'd swing my silver sword again and they would all fall down Would you leave them lying there where you had laid them? And I used to have a country once, where it's gone I do not know. Where do you think you might have lost it? I used to raise the flag at dawn, but that was very long ago Maybe you can find it where you tossed it. Well I tossed it up on the shelf And it's funny how you've kept it all for yourself Hey honey, could there ever be, Should there ever be, Could there ever be something else? I used to say my prayers boys, I used to sing the hymns Even the echo's disappearing. They've broken the stained windows, the cathedral's getting dim. Then what is this dirge that we are hearing? Well it comes from up on the shelf And it's funny how you sing it only for yourself Hey honey, could there ever be, Should there ever be, Could there ever be something else? Well, I used to have a lover once, I used to have a friend How in the hell you ever find one? My song is almost over now, my story's at an end You lived yourself a good life but a blind one. Well I've hidden there up on the shelf And it's funny how you've kept it all for yourself Hey honey, could there ever be, Should there ever be, Could there ever be something else Related Lyrics Random lyrics: Woman Child, Word Wizard, You Are the Only Song, It Had To Be You, Promise Me Youll Remember, Autumn Serenade, Hes My Guy, Hes My Guy, I Cant Begin to Tell You, I Dont Want to Walk Without You, I Had the Craziest Dream, Ill Get By, Im Always Chasing Rainbows, Im Beginning to See the Light, Ive Heard That Song Before, Ill Buy That Dream, Ill Get By, Im Beginning To See The Light, Its Been a Long, Long Time, Mister Five by Five, Oh, But I Do!, One Dozen Roses, Sleepy Lagoon, This Is Always, I Had The Craziest Dream, Big Rock Candy Mountain, Big Rock Candy Mountains, In the Big Rock Candy Mountains, Fifty-Second Street, 1941, Alimony, Ambush, As I Wander Lonely, At My Front Door, Best Friend (The Courtship Of Eddies Father), Coconut, Cuddly Toy, Daybreak, Everybodys Talkin, Everybodys Talkin, Everybodys Talkin Echoes, Everybodys Talking At Me, Everybodys Talkin, Everybodys Talking, Good Old Desk, Gotta Get Up, I Guess The Lord Must Be In New York, I Guess the Lord Must Be in New York City, Id Rather Be Dead, Id Rather Be Dead, Other Harry Chapin song Lyrics 30,000 Pounds Of Bananas Lyrics A Better Place To Be Lyrics A Lot of Lonely People Tonight Lyrics A Quiet Little Love Affair Lyrics All My Lifes A Circle Lyrics And The Baby Never Cries Lyrics Anthem Lyrics Any Old Kind Of Day Lyrics Babysitter Lyrics Barefoot Boy Lyrics Basic Protest Song Lyrics ...Show All Other Artists Harry Connick Lyrics Jr. Harry Connick Lyrics Harry James Lyrics Harry James Orchestra Lyrics Harry McClintock Lyrics Harry Mills Lyrics Harry Nilsson Lyrics Harry Potter Lyrics Harry Secombe Lyrics Harry Simeone Chorale 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
