See and Hear in rare live performance!
A stranger in line asks me why I smile
I’m in love with that woman down the cereal aisle
The twirling delight, stocking Lucky Charms
A sleeve of roses up and down her arm
My Melrose mystic, once or twice my dealer
Blew apart my heart when she asked me to be hers
So much to cry
(We’ve got)
So much to cry
We fled the city, we married in June
No one around, just the stars and the moon
Put our pasts in the past, but man what a blast
Got her mom situated, said goodbye to my dad
Blue mountain house, facing south
Paycheck to paycheck, hand to mouth
So much to cry
(We’ve got)
So much to cry
Still too many sleepless nights
Still too many rich men lying
Still too many hungry crying
Still too many justifying
Still, I can’t deny: It’s good to be alive
Still too many sleepless nights
Still too many waters rising
Still too many gardens dying
Still too many truth denying
Still, I ain’t gonna lie: It’s good to be alive
It’s good!
So don’t go messing
With my third-act blessings
I’ve learned every next generation is better than the last
Their photos on our fridge warn this too shall pass
I better kiss her mouth before the day is done
Hey! Come dance with me, Stella, ‘neath this melting sun
So much to cry
(We got)
So much to cry
Come dance with me, darling, when our shift is done
