Ly-la-ly I heard you cry
Clouds will pass but stars will shine for your eyes
Summer gives up its grip to fall
Wind picks up it says it all
In your eyes, in your eyes

Early morning take a shower
Lift your head, a quiet hour
The start of your day
And on and on the city starts
To welcome in and break the heart
There's no safety in numbers

You were right about me babe

Suddenly you turn on me,
You're like a leaf falling through the trees
The more I grasp the more space you leave
I'd like to be everything through your eyes

Slip your shoes on, take a walk
You're floating up and down the block
Lights turn green for you
And though I might like the plot
I fought the fight and then I lost
The man I tried my hardest to be

You were right about me babe
You were right about me babe
You were right about me

Ly-la-ly I heard you cry
Clouds will pass but stars will shine
(You were right about me)
Suddenly you turn on me,
You're like a leaf falling through the
(You were right about me)
The more I grasp the more space you leave
I'd like to be everything through your eyes
(You were right)
