Sweet Johnny Rogers
Once upon a time
A few days from now
Life was so fine
Can't figure how
His memory's clear
Of how it will be
The past is here
To become memory
Chorus:
He created a bridge
With promises bold
The future he lived
His story not told
Of dreams never dreamt
And memories cold
Sweet Johnny Rogers
Too young to be old
Fast as he could
He ran up ahead
Find what's behind him
Hear all that she said
Her voice so sweet
Not far away
His lingering feelin's
Get in his way
Chorus:
He created a bridge
With promises bold
The future he lived
His story not told
Of dreams never dreamt
And memories cold
Sweet Johnny Rogers
Too young to be old
Bridge:
Gotta move on and leave the future behind
Never can tell what's on his mind
The future's been written
The past but a dream
And no one is ever what they seem
"Wow you guys are smokin"
Boston interlude
So now he's thinking
Eyes full of tears
Wonderin' just where
He spent all his years
He's looking inside
lost in his soul
Feeling it all
His blood runnin' cold
Chorus:
He created a bridge
With promises bold
The future he lived
His story not told
Of dreams never dreamt
And memories cold
Sweet Johnny Rogers
Too young to be old
Sweet Johnny Rogers
Too young to be old |
