Ricky
Hi Helen, how are you?
Margo tells me you’re feeling blue
Love is majestic as a mountainside
I can give you love with nothing to hide, yeah
Helen
Ricky, here we’ve just met
But I just might let you go to my head
I’ve always been one to cool my jets
But it always brings me down
I’ve had it all approachable and bright
But why do I cry in the night?
I’m beginning to see beyond another working day
I’m willing to live a loving way
Starting now
‘Cause I hear a note swelling up ready to sing out
About a memory ringing up loud
I hear a chorus with voices I don’t have
Just two notes, one I gave away and the other never had
Gaylord
Since you were a child you’ve been told that you shine
Been told that you have a heart of gold
Since you can remember they say you’re special
But all those kind words always leave you cold
Unworthiness has been your lifelong companion
You’ve always accepted its prominence
That dark cloud you’re not proud
And can’t let go of its dominance
Ricky
Hey Helen, dry your tears
We’ve all got blemish, we’ve all got fears
Now, you’re a godsend in a clear bright dawn
So come with me and let’s sing our song, yeah
Helen
My life’s standardized and square
Neatly tucked no blemish nor tear
Try to fix my systems where they
Harmonize in a balance
I’ve had it all successful and bright
But why do I cry in the night?
I’m beginning to see beyond another working day
I’m willing to live a loving way
Starting now
Learning how
Learning how
Starting now
