i've never any time to play
 it always seems to slip away
 or it never really goes by
 while i wait here with my level head
 for our only try

 sing with your head up
 with your eyes closed;
 not because you love the song,
 because you love to sing
 because you love to sing, oh

 you saw [bad word] on my brow
 you noticed i'm distracted now.
 i'm thinking only of my billfold
 and how I want to face you with
 diamonds and gold in my hand, in my hand

 sing with your head up
 with your eyes closed
 not because you love the song
 because you love to sing
 because you love to sing, oh
