Rhyme after Rhyme

TTTO “Time after Time”, Cyndie Lauper

Singing on this stage I hear the fiddle

And realize

Caught up in chords and melody

Not that wise

Blackout – mind blank

Lyrics were left behind

They had some great ones –

Rhyme after–

Sometimes I think of words

In verses too far ahead

You’re shouting at me, “wrong verse”

I think you’ve said

Then you say – you’ve left

The sheet behind

The music makes me blind

[Chorus]

If you’ve lost all the words – then just make them up

Rhyme after rhyme

If Frank Hayes has now hit you – rewrite your lyrics

Rhyme after rhyme

After my song is done, the music will

Fade away

Some words were wrong, you’re wondering

If it’s OK

Dumb lines stolen from songs I heard

The drum beats had me scared

[Chorus]

Then you say – you’ve left

The sheet behind

The music makes me blind

[Chorus]

…Rhyme after rhyme

Rhyme after rhyme

Rhyme after rhyme

Rhyme after rhyme
