But Not For Me

Old man sunshine, listen you!
Never tell me “dreams come true.”
Just try it, and I’ll start a riot!
Beatrix Fairfax, don’t you dare
Ever tell me he will care.
I’m certain it’s the final curtain.
I never wanna hear from any cheerful Polyannas
Who tell you Fate supplies a mate.
It’s all bananas!
They’re writing songs of love, but not for me.
A lucky star’s above, but not for me.
With love to lead the way, I’ve found more clouds of grey
Than any Russian play could guarantee.
I was a fool to fall and get that way.
Heigh-ho, alack, and also lack-a-day!
Although I can’t dismiss the memory of his kiss
I guess he’s not for me.
Love’s knocking on a door, but not for me.
He’ll plan a two-by-four, but not for me.
I know that love’s a game - I’m puzzled just the same!
Was I the moth, or flame? I’m all at sea!
It all began so well, but what an end!
This is the time a lady needs a friend -
When every happy plot
Ends with a marriage knot
And there’s no knot for me.

If You Moved Here

we're both up early
even though we all stayed up late
maybe before the others wake
we could go get some pancakes
let's finish what we started
holding hands in the back of the van
'cause it would be a wish come true to love you
we pass the day in summer's heat
walking down Congress
and when you pull me to you I think,
"maybe we're making some progress..."
let's finish what we started
holding hands in the back of the van
'cause it would be a wish come true to love you
I know I don't deserve you
but I ring having you near
oh, what a difference in my life it might make
if you moved here,
if you moved here...
despite the odds, I think that we
would work just fine
even though I wouldn't believe
I could call you mine, so
pinch me if you catch me dreaming
while we hold hands in the back of the van
'cause it would be a wish come true to love you

I Walk a Little Faster

Pretending that we’ll meet
Each time I turn a corner, I walk a little faster
Pretending life is sweet
’Cause love’s around the corner, I walk a little faster
Can’t begin to see my future shine as yet
No sign as yet, you’re mine as yet
Rushing toward a face I can’t divine as yet
Keep bumping into walls, and taking lots of falls
And even though I meet
‘round each and every corner
With nothing but disaster
I set my chin a little higher, hope a little longer,
build a little stronger castle in the air
And thinking you’ll be there, I walk a little faster
Can’t begin to see my future shine as yet
No sign as yet, you’re mine as yet
Rushing toward a face I can’t divine as yet
Keep bumping into walls, and taking lots of falls
And even though I meet
‘round each and every corner
With nothing but disaster
I set my chin a little higher, hope a little longer,
build a little stronger castle in the air
And thinking you’ll be there, I walk a little faste
