Oh, once upon a midnight dearie
I woke with something in my head
I couldn't escape the memory
Of a phone call and of what you said
Like a game show contestant with a parting gift,
I could not believe my eyes 
When I saw through the voice of a trusted friend
Who needs to humor me and tell me lies

Yeah, humor me and tell me lies
And I'll lie, too, and say I don't mind
And as we seek, so shall we find
And when you're feeling open, I'll still be here
But not without a certain degree of fear
Of what will be with you and me
I still can see things hopefully, but you

[Chorus]
Why you want to give me a run-around?
Is it a surefire way to speed things up
When all it does is slow me down?
(oh, yeah)

Shake me and my confidence, about a great many things
But I've been there, I can see it cower
Like a nervous magician waiting in the wings
Of a bad play where the heroes are right

And nobody thinks or expects too much
And Hollywood's calling for the movie rights
Singin', hey, babe, let's keep in touch
Hey, baby, let's keep in touch

But I want more than a touch, I want you to reach me
And show me all the things no one else can see
So what ya feel becomes mine as well
And soon if we're lucky, we'd be unable to tell

What's yours and mine, the fishing's fine
And it doesn't have to rhyme
So don't you feed me a line
But you. 

[Chorus]

Tra la-la bomba dear, this is the pilot speakin'
And I've got some news for you
It seems my ship still stands no matter what you drop
And there ain't a whole lot that you can do

Oh, sure, the banner may be torn
And the wind's gotten colder
Perhaps I've grown a little cynical
But I know no matter what the waitress brings

I shall drink in and always be full
Yeah, I will drink it and always be full
Oh, I like coffee, and I like tea
But to be able to enter a final plea

I still got this dream that you just can't shake
I love you to the point you can no longer take
Well, all right, o,k., so be that way
I hope and pray that there's something left to say
But you 

[Chorus]
