I've been alive forever And I wrote the very first song I put the words and the melodies together I am music and I write the songs I write the songs
There are no stars tonight There are no words to say I feel my soul losing you Where did the good times go Baby what can we do Color our love Black
Her name was Lola, she was a showgirl With yellow feathers in her hair and a dress cut down to there She would meringue and do the Cha-Cha And while she
I remember all my life Raining down as cold as ice Shadows of a man A face through window cryin' in the night The night goes into Morning just another
We're goin' hoppin', we're goin' hoppin' today Where things are poppin' the Philadelphia way We're gonna drop in on all the music they play On the bandstand
Even now when there's someone else who cares When there's someone home who's waiting just for me Even now I think about you as I'm climbing up the stairs
