She went from table manners to tunnel vision to premature farewells With a restlessness reserved for those who believe in themselves She thought the world was hers, so she made sure it bent beneath her will She was as new and as ancient as the solar paneled hills She was certain she could take this town by storm The wonder of sound and light seeking a form But somewhere along the way The dots didn't all connect The promise became regrets Somewhere along the way The dream and the circumstance Continue their tortured dance Somewhere along the way She was my lullaby personified, my vision in the mist But her contacts were all promoters and a westside therapist The 5 a.m's, the worried friends the parting of her lips But I needed to witness someone wrestle with what it means to just exist How her only plan in life was getting lost How she took me to the edge and made me watch But somewhere along the way The running just lost it's fun It happens to everyone Somewhere along the way Her trail became too obscure But that was her signature She would talk about letting go, I guess I didn't understand Giving over to the currents that were there since time began And on a long drive from El Paso to the Pacific Ocean cliffs I finally felt connected to the continental drift But somewhere along the way I started to smile again I don't remember when Somewhere along the way Things will turn out just fine I know it's true this time Somewhere along the way

Gee, it's great after bein' out late Walkin' my baby back home Arm in arm over meadow and farm Walkin' my baby back home We go 'long harmonizing a song Or i'm recitin' a poem Owls go by and they give me the eye Walkin' my baby back home We stop for a while, she gives me a smile And snuggles her head on my chest We start in to pet and that's when i get Her talcum all over my vest After i kinda straighten my tie She has to borrow my comb Once kiss then i continue again Walkin' my baby back home She's 'fraid of the dark so i have to park Outside of her door till it's light She says if i try to kiss her she'll cry I dry her tears all through the night Hand in hand to a barbecue stand Right from her doorway we roam Eats and then it's a pleasure again Walkin' my baby Talkin' my baby Lovin' my baby I don't mean maybe Walkin' my baby back home

Love can be pleasing Love can be teasing Love can be pleasure Love can be playful Fill everyday, full up to the measure It has known to cause a fuss From the best of us, back on our heels And it can be the greatest things Since John Henry's first fling with automobiles Oh, love can be magic Love can be tragic Love can be laughter Love can be wild, yet, sweet as a child Who gets what he's after It all depends on how you play the game And on your point of view Because of love knows the rhyme of reason Just be glad for what she sees in you Love can be magic Love can be tragic Love can be laughter Love can be wild, yet, sweet as a child Who gets what he's after It all depends on how you play the game And on your point of view Because of love knows the rhyme of reason Just be glad for what she sees in you

They try to tell us we're too young Too young to really be in love They say that love's a word A word we've only heard But can't begin to know the meaning of And yet we're not too young to know This love will last though years may go And then some day they may recall We were not too young at all And yet we're not too young to know This love will last though years may go And then some day they may recall We were not too young at all

And now the purple dusk of twilight time Steals across the meadows of my heart High up in the sky the little stars climb Always reminding me that we're apart You wander down the lane and far away Leaving me a song that will not die Love is now the stardust of yesterday The music of the years gone by Sometimes I wonder how I spend The lonely night Dreaming of a song The melody haunts my reverie And I am once again with you When our love was new And each kiss an inspiration But that was long ago And now my consolation Is in the stardust of a song Besides the garden wall When stars are bright You are in my arms The nightingale tells his fairytale A paradise where roses grew Though I dream in vain In my heart, it will remain My stardust melody The memory of love's refrain
