| Cross My Heart |
| "Joey D. loves Lucy A." That's what the note said Fifth grade He's in her row, two seats behind Ten years old, the torture never ends One day at recess she pulls him aside She's taking his hand She looks in his eyes She's stepping in close so no one can hear Then she whispers in his ear, she says CHORUS: Tell me all your secrets and I won't tell anybody Pinky swear that I'm the one you love When the world is dark And you could swear you've got nobody Look to the sky It's written in the stars Cross my heart Time flies to graduation They leave the party, take a drive She keeps asking where they're going He laughs and looks away "It's a surprise" Out on the playground, right where they stood Down on one knee, he asks if she would He gives her the ring and she starts to cry It's the first night of the rest of their lives CHORUS Young love gets old real fast in a small town When you think your life is passing you by It kills him to let her go But she wants to fly So he gives her the wings And tells her goodbye, baby goodbye The train enters the station Track 11 on the Philadelphia line He was early...now he's waiting The people rush the doors Some are laughing, some are crying Up on the platform, he scans the crowd He doesn't see her, he looks all around The damn disappointment hangs like a shroud Suddenly her voice rings out, he says CHORUS x2 |
