If I could catch a star before it touched the ground I'd place it in a box, tie ribbons all around And then I'd offer it to you A token of my love and deep devotion The world's a better place with you to turn to I'm a better man for having loved you And now, at last, I face the future unafraid With you here by my side, how fast the shadows fade And there is hope inside my heart 'Cause I have something wonderful to live for The world's a better place with you to turn to I'm a better man for having loved you And as I am today That's how I'll always stay A better man for having loved you A better man for having loved you The world's a better place with you to turn to I'm a better man for having loved you And as I am today That's how I'll always stay A better man for having loved you A better man for having loved you If I could catch a star before it touched the ground I'd place it in a box, tie ribbons all around And then I'd offer it to you A token of my love and deep devotion

I was walkin' down the street mindin' my own affair When two policemen grabbed me, unaware He say, "Is your name Henry?" I says, "Why sure" He says, "You the boy I've been lookin' for" I was framed, framed, I was blamed, framed Well, I never knew nothin' but I always get framed, oh, framed They took him in the line up and let those bright lights shine There was ten poor souls like me in that line I knew I was a victim of someone's evil plan When a stool pidgeon walked in and says, "That's your man" I was framed, framed, I was blamed Oh, framed, framed, framed Well, I never knew nothin' but I always get framed Well, the prosecutor turned and started a-prosecutin' me Man, that cat didn't give me the one but the third degree He says, "Where were you on the night of July 1953?" Man I was just home, just a tweedle-a-dee I was framed, oh framed, I was blamed Oh, framed, framed, framed Well I never knew nothin' but I always get framed Oh framed, oh framed
