Eleanor

Eleanor, I got some bad news today

The doctor told me there was

A whole lot of hurt coming along the way

Well, it’ll get my liver, it’ll get my lungs

It’ll crush that life we were dreaming of

Eleanor, I got some bad news today

Do you remember when we were young in ’68?

See, you were a few years older than me

So I was nervous on our date

But it was the way you’d laugh that made me feel

Strange, odd thing, it could be real

Do you remember when we were young in ’68?

Do you remember when we were young in ’68?

Oh, I guess I always hoped I’d have more time

All the things we could have seen and done

If I only were alive

But I bet the heartache and the medical bills

Will get me before the cancer will

I guess I always hoped I’d have more time

Oh, I guess I always hoped I’d have more time

Eleanor, I’ve got some bad news today

Just let them grief nights in

So you can lower my body in that grave

Well, please, don’t let your life end with me

You’ll make a great mom one day, you’ll see

Eleanor, I’ve got some bad news today

Please don’t forget when we were young in ‘68
