I was thirty seven

You were seventeen

You were half my age

The youth I'd

never seen

Unlikely people

meeting in a dream

Heaven only knows

the way it

should have been

Here today

my tomorrow

Where you lead

I will follow

All that kissing

No passion missing

Come live with me

Kiss the boys goodbye

Come live with me

Kiss the boys goodbye

Come live with me

Dinner parties followed

And all my age implies

My friends began to talk

I began to realise

If half the things they say

are quarter true of me

Then how can

I eclipse the youth

you gave to set me free?

There was something

in your smile

that was hard

to reconcile

The time had come

to testify to reason

Though years

will not erase

remembrance of

those days

At least there's no

submission to

heart's treason

Here today

my tomorrow

No more shame

only sorrow

All that kissing

There's something

missing

Come live with me

Kiss the boys goodbye

Come live with me

Kiss the boys goodbye

Come live with me

Now there's nothing

left to cry for

And there's nowhere

left to go

Just another

hopeless fight

but how were

we to know

The strong are

sometimes wrong

But the weak

are never free

The choice we made

we can't evade

Don't try to follow me

Here today

my tomorrow

No more pain

only sorrow

All that kissing

There's something

missing

Come live with me

Kiss the boys goodbye

Come live with me

Kiss the boys goodbye

Come live with me

Kiss the boys goodbye

Come live with me

Kiss the boys goodbye

Come live with me

Kiss the boys goodbye
