When the evening is over, put your head upon my shoulder and I'll tell you something I believe is true: happiness is me and you. In a world so distor… - Gilbert O'Sullivan

Once in a while, out of the blue,
I might appear somewhat rude,
but don't be alarmed or get upset.
Just say to yourself "This I'll forget".
When I come home after being away
it might do me good just to hear you say:
"Darlin' don't move an inch, keep perfectly still,
now do with me what you will."

You'd never think, to look at
you'd never think to look at
that building there, is where there
used to be trees.
You'd never think it, would you?
You'd never think it, would you?
That building there is where there
used to be trees.
That building there is where there...
That building there is where there..
That building there is where there...
used to be fields.

I've been over and I've been under,
I've been through all kinds of hell.
Trouble was not only my middle name,
It was my first as well.
Through the years, all I've encountered,
I've just one thing to say:
"Hold on to what you got
and don't let it slip away."
I've been taken for far more rides
to places I've never been,
stabbed so many times in the back
I no longer feel a thing.
Oh, ask me what all this has taught me
and I'll tell you what I'll say:
"Hold on to what you got
and don't let it slip away.
Save it for a rainy day."
