<poem>Every hour, every day | |||
Since you've gone far away | Since you've gone far away | ||
It's a love canopy of dreams | It's a love canopy of dreams | ||
| Line 43: | Line 47: | ||
And broken arrows | And broken arrows | ||
Baby don't you know | Baby don't you know, know | ||
Get in the car just before we go | |||
Get in the car | We go, we go | ||
We go | |||
Every hour every day | Every hour, every day | ||
Love it seems far away | Love, it seems far away | ||
It's the last chance to be with you | It's the last chance to be with you | ||
And hear your heartache | And hear your heartache | ||
And hear your heartache | And hear your heartache | ||
And, baby, don't you know, know | |||
Get in the car just before we go | |||
Get in the car | We go, we go | ||
We go | |||
And after all that we couldn't say | And after all that we couldn't say, oh no | ||
We'd turn to you and said "yesterday," oh no | |||
He had no right, no | |||
He had no right no | |||
We stood and fought | We stood and fought | ||
I need love | I need love | ||
I need love | I need love | ||
And, baby, don't you know, know | |||
Get in the car just before we go | |||
Get in the car | We go, we go | ||
We go | |||
Every hour every day | Every hour every day | ||
Every hour every day | Every hour every day | ||
