Can't They See? - Josh Harmon

The way you wear your hat The way you sip your tea The memory of all that No, they can't take that away from me The way your smile just beams The way you sing off key The way you haunt my dreams No, no, they can't take that away from me We may never, ever meet again On that bumpy road to love Still I'll always, always keep the memory of The way you hold your knife The way we danced till three, oh The way that you've changed my life No, no, they can't take that away from me No, they can't take that away from me There are many, many, many crazy things That will keep me loving you With your permission Maybe I can list a few The way you hold your knife The way we danced until three Mmh, the way you've changed my life, yes she did No, no, no, they can't take that away from me No, they can't take that away No, they can't take that away No, they can't take that away From me

I can hear the soft breathing of the girl that I love As she lies here beside me, asleep with the night And hair in a blind mist floats on my pillow Reflecting the glow of the winter moonlight But I've got to creep down the alleyway Fly down the highway Before they come to catch me I'll be gone Somewhere they can't find me Oh, baby, you don't know what I've done I've committed a crime, I've broken the law While you were here sleeping and just dreaming of me I held up and robbed a liquor store But I've got to creep down the alleyway Fly down the highway Before they come to catch me I'll be gone Somewhere they can't find me Oh, my life seems unreal, my crime an illusion A scene badly written in which I must play And thought it puts me up tight to leave you I know it's not right to leave you When morning is just a few hours away But I've got to creep down the alleyway Fly down the highway Before they come to catch me I'll be gone Somewhere they can't find me

There are many-many crazy things That will keep me loving you And with your permission May I list a few? The way you wear your hat The way you sip your tea The memory of all that No, no, they can't take that away from me The way your smile just beams The way you sing off key The way you haunt my dreams No, no, they can't take that away from me We may never, never meet again On that bumpy road to love Still I'll always, always keep the memory of The way you hold your knife, du-ru-ru-ru, ru-ru The way we danced until three The way you changed my life No, no, they can't take that away from me No, they can't take that away from me
