James Taylor Baby Boom Baby Lyrics

Baby Boom Baby Lyrics

Somehow the season always brings a picture of you
Baby boom baby
Holding on for everything you figured you`re due
Little turtleneck girl
The moon on your shoulder
The wind in your lovely hair
Oh what a night
We sat on the beach and watched as the sun
Rose into the Summer air

You said we couldn`t miss what we never knew
Something about something that you had to do
Sitting on the sand with a hole in my shoe

I had no way of knowing where you might have been
Time goes by
All on my own I imagine you a life in between
All own my own
I worked on a letter but it never made it out of my head
Somehow reading your name it wasn`t the same
As leaving the thing unsaid

How come I miss what I never knew
And drag out the past just to paint it blue
And spend my days with a dream of you

Oh, after a fall
Here I`m trying to find our name on the wall
It was neither yours nor mine
It was something of the two combined
From a time spent out of time

I work hard to see that you remember my name
Nod your head yes
Do all I can to make you want to see me again
Oh what a night
Got a letter from the mail, got a message from the telephone
Seems you`re working in town
Moving around
Living alone

Now I`m caught in the spotlight
Walking the wire
My feet are frozen and my heart`s on fire
What do I do if my dream come true
