All the col ors of my youth, the red, the green, the hope, the truth, are beat in’ me black and blue ’cause you’re in ev ’ry scene.

My friends try to cheer me up.

I get to geth er at the Piz za Hut.

I did n’t have the heart to tell ’em that was our place.

These sleep y street lights on ev ’ry (F)side walk, side street, they shed a light on ev ’ry (F)thing that (G)used to be.
