Lyrics

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 hearts 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 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
