lyrics

I always liked when you said “oh sugar”
Every time you got mad
‘Cause then you’d tell me I was even sweeter
My cheeks turned to cherries hearing that

Roxy Music coming through the speaker
When you asked me to dance
You told me kid you’re born for the theatre
So don’t worry, you’ll catch on fast

And we did the soft shoe under the moon
Laughing til our bellies ached, til our faces turned blue
You said my little girl there’s not a thing in this world that you can’t do
And when I think back it’s an old time movie and I was like Shirley, dancing on kitchen floors
But these days you just look right through me, not even sure what you’re lookin for

Fingertips stained red with crabapples
Black and white photographs, they’ll never tell
Half empty scrapbook of our travels
Days I thought you’d remember well

Like when we did the soft shoe under the moon
Laughing til our bellies ached, til our faces turned blue
You said my little girl there’s not a thing in this world that you can’t do
And when I think back it’s an old time movie and I was like Shirley, dancing on kitchen floors
But these days you just look right through me, not even sure what you’re lookin for

What you’re looking for in these blue eyes of mine
Have you seen me before, maybe in a past life
And I’ll never forget the day that your eyes welled up and you said my name
I just didn’t know it then that it would never leave your lips again

I never thought that I’d be a stranger
But what did I know?
A life full of memories are bound to age you
Now they’ve got no place to go

But I remember dancin soft shoe under the moon
You said my little girl there’s not a thing in this whole world
And when I think back it’s an old time movie
But these days you just look right through me
