Thoughts
"Her folks shoulda seen it comin
It was only just a matter of time
Plenty old enough
And you can't stop love
She stuck a note on the screen door
Sorry but I got to go
That was all she wrote
Her mama's heart was broke"
"How could 18 years just up and walk away?
Our little pony-tailed girl
Growed up to be a woman
Now she's gone in the blink of an eye
She left the suds in the bucket
And the clothes hangin out on the line"
"So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go
Cuz I'm leavin on a jetplane
Don't know when I'll be back again
Oh, babe, I hate to go"
"Movin on up
To the east side
To a deluxe apartment in the sky"
"Whatever happened to predictability?
The milkman, the paperboy
Evening TV
You miss your old familiar friends
Waiting just around the bend"
"How can I help you
To say goodbye?
It's ok to hurt
And it's ok to cry
Come let me hold you
And I will try
How can I help you
To say goodbye?"
"It's my party and I'll cry if I want to
cry if I want to, cry if I want to
You would cry, too, if it happened to you"
