COME ON COME ON 
Mary Chapin Carpenter

intro


Some people remember the first time, 
some can't forget the last
Some just select what they want to from the past

It's a song that you danced to in high school,
it's a moon you tried to bring down
On a four-in-the-morning drive 
through the streets of town

Come on come on, it's getting late now; 
Come on come on, take my hand
Come on come on, you just have to whisper; 
Come on come on, I will understand

instrumental

It's a photograph taken in Paris, 
at the end of the honeymoon
In 1948, late in the month of June
Your parents smile for the camera 
in sienna shades of light
Now you're older than they were then 
that summer night

Come on come on, it's getting late now; 
Come on come on, take my hand
Come on come on, you just have to whisper; 
Come on come on, I will understand

It's a need you never get used to, 
so fierce and so confused
It's a loss you never get over 
the first time you lose

instrumental solo

And tonight I am thinking of someone, 
seventeen years ago
We rode in his daddy's car 
down the river road  

Come on come on, it's getting late now; 
Come on come on, take my hand
Come on come on, you just have to whisper; 
Come on come on, I will understand

Come on come on, it's getting late now; 
Come on come on, take my hand
Come on come on, you just have to whisper; 
Come on come on, I will understand
Come on come on
