Why Should People Stay the Same |
You were chasing him down Braodway on that white-hot July |
'Cause he thought he’d got a message from some holy man on high |
He said his chance had finally come; |
he’d done it on his own |
He had to leave his past behind; |
the first thing that had to go--was |
Home |
You put him in an aeroplane and packed your life and clothes |
You learned all the lessons that the suitcase lady knows |
He said, «Something still drags me back from where I’m heading to,» |
You didn’t really understand, 'til the next thing that had to go--was |
You |
Some things are sacrificed and some things remain |
Some things bring pleasure and some things bring pain |
Some things must pass away, and some things are regained |
When the whole world is changing, why should people stay the same? |
You saw his picture in the paper, that disarming boyish smile |
You sometimes had to swallow hard as you saw him on the dial |
You heard him on a talk show, he was hearing no one else |
Then suddenly you knew too well, the last thing he’d left behind--was |
Himself |
Some things are sacrificed and some things remain |
Some things bring pleasure and some things bring pain |
Some things must pass away, and some things are regained |
When the whole world is changing, why should people stay the same? |
So you pulled yourself together, friends and family said you should |
You discovered you were doing things you never knew you could |
And someday when he calls you, which you know of course he’ll do |
You’ll just send him away again, 'cause the last thing you finally |
Found--was |
You |
