ODE TO THE PROMISE OF YOUTH
There it goes the promise of youth
Of handsome and might.
There it goes faster than light.
These are the stories we have told.
These are the stories which go round and round till they get old.
And I see you.
You're in her eyes.
She has your way about her.
And shows such promise.
And so it goes on
Round and round.
Till the stories get told and they make no sound.
And the reasons why and the reasons because.
And the reasons go round and round and round.
Until they've gone.

I remember the drive.
We were young and we were so free.
And we had things we had to do.
Things seemingly so easy.
And I see you
You're in her eyes.
She has your way about her
And shows such promise.
And so it goes on.
Round and round.
Till the stories get old and they make no sound.
And the reasons why and the reasons because.
And the reasons go round and round and round
Until they've gone.
Last thing I said was
"Have a great day you,
We just live down the road now,
It was so good to bump in to you"
And the stories get old.
They go round and round.
And the stories get told 'til they make no sound.
And the reasons why and the reasons because.
And the reasons go round and round and round
Until they've gone.
They go round and round and round and round until they've gone.
