The Morning Papers

He realized that she was new to love

Naive in every way

Every schoolboy's fantasy she was

That's why he had to wait

If he poured his heart into a glass

And offered it like wine

She could drink and be back in time

For the morning papers

They could take a walk down the ocean side

Make a wish on every wave

They could find a carousel and ride

Or kiss in every cave

They could contemplate the entire universe or just one star

Oh, just how far was the walk for the morning papers?

Yeah

Let me play it for you one time, oh

Well

Hey

Shucks

Why is age more than a number

When it comes to love?

Should we ask the ones who speculate

When they don't know what it's made of?

Should we ask the moonlight on your face

Or the raindrops in your hair?

Or should we ask the man who wrote it there

In the morning papers

Hey

Should we ask the moonlight on your face

Or the raindrops in your hair?

Should we ask the man who wrote it there

In the morning papers

Oh, yes

Somebody help me sing it now

La, la, la, la, la, la

La, la, la, la, la, la

La, la, la, la, la, la, la

Oh yeah, hey hey hey, woo

Yes

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

La, la, la, la, la, la

La, la, la, la, la, la

La, la, la, la, la, la, la

Go on, play

La, la, la, la, la, la

La, la, la, la, la, la

La, la, la, la, la, la, la
