You Really Turn Me

Woke up, got out of bed
Dragged a comb across my head
Found my way downstairs and drank a cup
And looking up, i noticed i was late
Found my coat and grabbed my hat
Made the bus in seconds flat
Found my way upstairs and had a smoke
Somebody spoke and i went into a dream

Seven weeks have passed away since she left me
She shows her face to ask me how I am
She says the kids are fine and that they miss me
Maybe I could come and baby sit sometime

I saw a friend of mine
He said "I was worried about you
I heard she had another man,
I wondered how you felt about it?"

I'm so happy that I can't stop crying
I'm laughing through my tears

The park was full of Sunday fathers and melted ice cream
We try to do the best within the given time
A kid should be with his mother
Everybody knows that
What can a father do but baby-sit sometimes?

I saw the photograph
I blew his mind out in that car
He didn't notice that the lights had changed
A crowd of people stood and stared
They'd seen his face before

I took a walk alone last night
I looked up at the stars
To try and find an answer in my life
I chose a star for me
I chose a star for him
I chose two stars for my kids and one star for my wife
Something made me smile
Something seemed to ease the pain
Something about the universe and how it's all connected

Bright are the stars that shine
Dark is the sky
I know this love of mine
Will never die
And i love her

I'm so happy that I can't stop crying
I'm laughing through my tears

I saw that friend of mine, he said,
"You look different somehow"
I said, "Everybody's got to leave the darkness sometime"

Someday, you'll know
I was the one.
But tomorrow may rain, so I'll follow the sun.

I'm so happy that I can't stop crying
I'm laughing through my tears
