New Song
Copyright 1989 Daniel E. Biemer
Well, she wasn't young and he wasn't rich Just a little bit early for his seven year itch When they met in the bar, she saw the ring on his hand But she'd always had a thing for the older men She don't know the cause, though she knows the effects Should've married for love, but he married for sex They can shake up their lives, they can fix what is wrong And starting tonight they'll sing a brand new song New song Everybody sing a new song Everybody sing a new song Laugh and be happy Dance all your troubles away Well, he didn't care and she didn't mind And while they were there they had a grand old time The toast of the bar, and the talk of their friends For a minute or two they were young again But the hands of time keep marching on, Pass the minute, the minute's gone And way across town from their neat little tryst A child goes to bed without a goodnight kiss "Of course I respect you, you know that it's true Things're gonna change when the divorce comes through We'll shake up our lives and we'll fix what is wrong And starting tonight we'll sing a brand new song." Chorus Now don't be afraid if you make a mistake You'll start over again and it's never too late Just live for the moment and bury the past Never think about future, it'll get here too fast Time will heal the destruction that you leave in your wake And hearts don't mean nothin', don't you care if they break Don't face up to your faults, wasn't you that was wrong Take a tip from our friends and sing a brand new song Chorus
