Artist: Don Henley
I know you broke up with him
And your heart's still on the shelf.
It's been over two years for me
And I'm still not quite myself.
You can't be with someone new
And you can't go back to him.
You're beginning to realize
That it's sink or swim.
I see you around sometimes
And my heart just melts.
You're lookin' like if you had your wish
You'd be somewhere else.
And it just breaks my heart
To see you here this way.
Someday I'll get the nerve
To walk up to you and say,
This is the last worthless evening
That you'll have to spend.
Just gimme a chance
To show you how to love again.
This is the last worthless evening
That you'll have to spend.
'Cause I'll be there
When your broken heart is on the mend.
Every night it's the same old crowd
In smoky rooms.
You catch a faint glimpse of love sometimes
But it never blooms.
I've been around this block a time or two,
And I've made some big mistakes
But girl I promise you, I promise you,
That this is the worthless evening
That you'll have to spend.
Just gimme a chance
To show you how to love again.
This is the last worthless evening
That you'll have to spend.
'Cause it won't be long
'Til your little heart is on the mend.
People inside their houses
With the shades pulled down.
God knows, we could use some romance
In this sleepy bedroom town.
I know you're still afraid to rush into anything
But there're just so many summers
And just so many springs.
And this is the last worthless evening
That you'll have to spend.
Just gimme a chance to show you how
To love again.
This is the last worthless evening
That you'll have to spend, baby.
'Cause I'll be there when your broken heart
Is on the mend.
This is the last worthless evening
That you'll have to spend.
Just gimme a chance, gimme a chance
To show you how to love again.
This is the last worthless evening
That you'll have to spend.
'Cause it won't be long
'Til your little heart is on the mend. |
