Let's Do Charades


Me:  Have you ever noticed that when you are singing along to songs and you don’t know the lyrics super well you do more charades?

Thomas:  You mean YOU do more charades.

Me:  Music these days….it isn’t like it used to be.  Not only can I not understand the words when they sing, they aren’t as expressive and you can’t do as many charades.   I miss the 80’s.

Cyndi Lauper: 

"Time After Time"
Lying in my bed I hear the clock tick,
And think of you
Caught up in circles confusion -
Is nothing new
Flashback - warm nights -
Almost left behind
Suitcases of memories,
Time after -

Sometimes you picture me -
I'm walking too far ahead
You're calling to me, I can't hear
What you've said -
Then you say - go slow -
I fall behind -
The second hand unwinds

[Chorus:]
If you're lost you can look - and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you - I'll be waiting
Time after time

After my picture fades and darkness has
Turned to gray
Watching through windows - you're wondering
If I'm OK
Secrets stolen from deep inside
The drum beats out of time -

[Chorus:]
If you're lost...

You said go slow -
I fall behind
The second hand unwinds -

[Chorus:]
If you're lost...
...Time after time
Time after time
Time after time
Time after time
