[Intro]
"I mean the whole thing's sorta good for me because I missed you so much. It would have been a lot more fun with you, darling. You're the only thing that ever matters to me
...And pretty soon, we'll be back together -- the war's going better now and... and maybe I'll be able to come over, or maybe you'll be home before I get chance to, but I don't care anymore I just want to be with you
Want me to sing another song for you? I'll sing, um... "Honey" again, I'll do a better job this time
I'm in love with you, honey
Hope you love me too, honey
No one else will do, honey
Seems funny, but it's true
Loved you from the start, honey
Bless your little heart, honey
Ev'ryday would be so sunny
Honey, with you
--Played this record in a moment of madness, and I think--"
[Saxophone Solo]
[Verse 1]
Soldiers sleeping in the doorways
Somebody tell 'em when the war ends
There's no telling where the war sends me, but
I just gotta pack my bags
You stand jangling keys
"Be quick about it please!"
I can beg on my knees, but I'm getting what I deserve
[Bridge]
What I deserve...
What I deserve...
What I deserve...
[Verse 2]
Eternal light shining from the subways
Even in the airways, still feels like you're here
Combing out your split ends
Talking to your girlfriends
I was on my way home; shall I turn around?
[Bridge]
"Tomorrow."
"Tomorrow."
"Tomorrow."
"Tomorrow."
"Tomorrow."
(Dah-dah, dah-dah-dah!)
"Tomorrow."
(Dah-dah, dah-dah-dah!)
"Tomorrow."
(Dah-dah, dah-dah-dah...)
[Verse 3]
Blah blah, such and such
Think I talk too much?
Think I'm superficial?
Well, when the UN sends the missile, I'll be
Wishing
You were
By my
Side
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 4]
Round and round
And round it goes
Where does it stop?
Nobody knows
Hanging by ears
Hanging by toes
When does it stop?
Nobody knows...
[Outro]
When will I see you again?
I will return
When will I see you again?
I will return
When will I see you again?
I will return
When will I see you again?
I will return
Round and round and round and round
And round and round and round
And round and round...
"When you wish upon a star...
...your dream comes true!"
