1) I can’t understand all the tunes they play,
But I understand what you’re trying to say.
Well I’m saying nothing that you don’t hear,
Just trying to help wash away your tears.
2) Somebody’s saying “Well, bless my soul,
You better ride like the wind ‘cos the night wind’s cold”.
Wish I could stay but I must say no,
Bid you farewell and away I go.
Middle 1) You’re my everything, everything under the sun,
I’d do anything, just say the word and it’s done.
3) I see your door and it’s open wide,
Something is beckoning me inside.
Should I pretend you’re an old, old friend?
‘Ts bound to catch up with us in the end.
I wish I could stay but I must say no,
Kiss you goodbye and away I go.
Middle 2) Oh my everything, you’re everything under the sun,
I’d do anything, (for you) just say the word and it’s done.
4) Well I can’t understand all the tunes they play,
But I understand what you’re trying to say.
And I’m saying nothing that you don’t hear,
Just trying to help wash away your tears.
I wish I could stay but I must say no,
Whisper goodnight and away I go.
I’ll kiss you goodbye and away I go.
Bid you farewell and away I go.
