Steve Forbert - One Short Year Gone By lyrics

VERSE Sailin' down my life so fast And someone seen me zippin' past And reachin' out they took my hand And made a move to slow me Speakin' words, an angel's voice And I replied, "I got no choice And you, you're from some other world And babe, you just don't know me" CHORUS And it's one short year gone by Sad, I've made her cry, sweet baby VERSE I never meant to play that part I never meant to even start I was thinkin' 'bout some plans I'd made And there she was beside me She looked up and then we kissed And somethin' there said "don't resist" And that was late that summer night I don't know why she tried me (REPEAT CHORUS) BRIDGE Darlin', your sweet touch Well, I've never shared so much Little baby, this life's on fire It's burnin' and screaming higher VERSE Got to get some time alone I'm just outside the danger zone There's people all around me now And I don't know what I'm thinkin' I went down a ways from here And kids were dancin', drinkin' beer I was so much older there My spirit started sinkin' (REPEAT CHORUS) VERSE Tryna keep my life insane And keep my mind inside the rain And see the false securities And understand the highway Made a lotta stupid moves I've always got some point to prove I ain't exactly all that nice I've got to do it my way (REPEAT CHORUS) (REPEAT BRIDGE) Steve Forbert Welk Music (ASCAP)/ Rolling Tide Music (ASCAP)
