let's go out to the races bet on the longshot and throw away the ticket and leave before it's through yes or no, i am so in the mood let's hail a cab by the entrance and ask the hack to take us to a place that we invented and act surprised when he doesn't have a clue yes or no, i am so in the mood tell your boss you came down with a case of summertime and the only way to cure it is to lean back in the bleachers for a while you can be zelda and i will be f. scott we'll poetize over wine and write down things that soon will be forgotten and when the day finally surrenders we'll stay a little longer and poke some at the embers and joke about renting a room yes or no, i am so in the mood

the manager sits at the bar smoking his third cigarette the racing form and his black coffee his hands rubbing his tired head the lights are turned down, the floor has been swept and the tables are clear and in a dark corner we sway to a rhythm that only you and i hear the orchestra is done but i still hear the music i still can't help moving in your arms the singer has gone home but i still hear the lyrics as we disapper in the never ending lovers' song the shadows we cast on the wall move like ghosts to a forgotten beat my hand on your back with a mind of its own moves you closer to me you throw your head back you spin and you stop and you stare in my eyes and i see every bright star that ever burned high in any dark, velvety sky (chorus) the manager stands at the door in his coat holding his keys as we glid and step, held in the grip of a mute melody the manager shouts as he looks at his watch i am locking the door but his words echo faint and drop like soft rain drowned out by our movie score (chorus)

one day we'll be in the park or out at the movies you'll turn to me and laugh about today and when we're older living in white plains or maybe in boulder i'll put my hand on your shoulder and laugh about today the spilled white zin and the misread coversation i got a little bit sad then you kissed my frown away behind the curtains in the arcade camera we held hand together and we were on our way someday talking by the fire there in our stockings a little spark then we'll laugh about today singing gershwin right in front of everyone everybody laughing as we went walking by feeling the city change from day to evening all the street lights blinking and shining in your eyes one day strolling or at the lanes with some friends bowling we'll make a little toast then we'll laugh about today and later on when we say goodbye and i leave you on your doorstep under the moonlight we'll look at each other one more time and we'll laugh about today

she was by the window reading another hopeful needing that one big break so i asked to sit and she let me i'd make her not forget me i was in love with her face she said she had come from places unknown to throw her dice and let 'em count and find her place in stardust town the sun was chased away by rain i ordered some champaign i would ask her name but when i turned back she was gone like the disappearing sun in the gathering gray a ran to the street, looked west then looked east i ran up the avenue and then back down she was on her way to stardust town a year went by and another one right behind and all the while i kept in my mind her face hoping i would see her on the street and ask her to escape with me then i saw her face again in an advertisement for a hit broadway show so i went to see her dance and reconstruct an interrupted romance the curtain dropped and i pushed through the mob by the time i reached her door the lights were out she was on her way to stardust town she found her place in stardust town

i hold your hand and sparks shoot out you pull away and you say ouch but don't worry baby that's just a lttle bit of lightnin' i look deeply into your eyes rockets go off and you get shy but it's just a lttle bit of lightnin' and lightnin' makes the gardens grow and lightens up a dull gray sky but oh what fun when the big storm comes and we find a cozy place to hide i get crazy each time we meet my heart gets confused and skips a beat but it's just a lttle bit of lightnin' and lightnin's been around long before little cleo dipped her toe in the nile and it's been livinin' things up since the world was a big rock pile we walk along the clouds build up it's ok honey we've already been struck don't worry baby it's just a lttle bit of lightnin' don't worry baby it's just a lttle bit of lightnin' don't worry baby it's just a lttle bit of lightnin'

sky blue sky 03:19
i see off in the distance an oak tree and a tire swing a little pond for fishing and i see you and i under sky blue skies i hear an old mare in the stable daisies in the jelly jar dominos on the table the window shines the light of a sky blue sky i see it all in my mind oh i see the green grass and the umber of the dusty road were i to draw the sky that hung over you and me there'd only be one crayon i would need i hear you playingthe piano i hear you sing in perfect key as the back yard turns to shadows as the sun bids goodnight to a sky blue sky i see it all in my mind oh i see the amber hills and the pink of a budding rose were i to paint the sky that hung above our head i'd only need one color in my palette i see off in the distance silhouettes holding hands surrendering to kismet wonderful as life goes by under sky blue skies i feel time ever clocking and the tide that will subside when our ship comes in for docking and wave the crew goodbye under sky blue skies from then on we'll reside under sky blue skies

my carousel sits by the sea in the gray and the mist still as it can be waiting for the man to start the machinery and let the cogs and pullies turn again my carousel sleeps in the night dreaming that i might turn on his lights but to take you for a ride all through the misty blue is only something someday i might do when i get around to you my carousel is brave in the wind refusing to rust till it turns again and one day you might spin with me a time or two up and down and underneath the moon when i get around to you my carousel sits by the sea hoping that i might meet destiny and trade in my line for a circular route and realize this is where i'm going to when i get around to you

some things don't do you no good to fool with like three plus three is six and like the spring or an ernie els golf swing she's perfect justlike she is so don't you bother changin' any sentance that she says displace one word and the world becomes absurd she's perfect just like she is who could make the stars more amazing could you paint a better sky what fool would change the color of a daisy well that's crazy and like the mets in '69 or the way gladys knight sings it there just ain't no way to make a longer day she's perfect just like she is what fool would find fault with the mountains or rewrite shakespear's poetry some men have tried to improve upon her aspect but that's foolishness and one day i'll find the nerve to tell her that i get her and that i'd never try to change her 'cause that's danger and who could make the stars more amazing could you paint a better sky and who would change the color of a daisy well that's crazy she drapes her coat across her shoulder then says goodbye through crimson lips out down the street and world is incomplete she's perfect just like she is she's perfect just like she is she's perfect just like she is
