It's the Talk of the Town - Milt Buckner

I can't show my face, can't go any place People stop and stare, it's so hard to bear Everybody knows you left me It's the talk of the town Everytime we meet, my heart skips a beat We don't stop to speak, though it's just a week Everybody knows you left me Mm, it's the talk of the town We sent out invitations to friends and relations Announcing our wedding day Friends and our relations gave congratulations How can you face them, what can you say Let's make up sweetheart, we can't stay apart Don't let foolish pride keep you from my side How can love like ours be ended It's the talk of the town We sent out invitations to friends and relations Announcing our wedding day Friends and our relations gave congratulations How can you face them, what can you say Ah, I wanna make up sweetheart, I don't wanna stay apart Don't let your foolish pride, don't let it keep you from my side How can love like ours be ended It's the talk of the town

I want to be where the talk of the town Is about last night when the sun went down And the trees all dance And the warm wind blows in that same old sound And the water below gives a gift to the sky And the clouds give back every time they cry And make the grass grow green beneath my toes And if the sun comes out I'll paint a picture all about The colors I've been dreaming of The hours just don't seem enough To put it all together Maybe it's as strange as it seems And the trouble I find is that the trouble finds me It's a part of my mind it begins with a dream And a feeling I get when I look and I see That this world is a puzzle, I'll find all of the pieces And put it all together, and then I'll rearrange it I'll follow it forever Always be as strange as it seems Nobody ever told me not to try And the water below gives a gift to the sky And the clouds give back every time they cry And make the grass grow green beneath my toes And if the sun comes out I'm going to paint a picture all about The colors I've been dreaming of The hours just don't seem enough To put it all together Always be as strange as it seems
