I can make myself get up
Drink my coffee from your cup
I read the news, I  take a shower
Afternoons,  I take an hour
To walk among the living things
Some with whiskers, some with wings
Some with wedding rings

Pre-Chorus
If I could only find the words
You could always find the words
Enough for both of us, plus a couple more
Stop me if I’ve told you this before

Chorus
That’s just the way it goes
The way it goes
In May it snows
In Colorado
Stop me if I’ve told you this before

Hummingbirds to summer blooms
Distant songs in empty rooms
Letters sent with postage due
All return to me but you
Cherry blossom petals fall
On the cemetery wall
I could not catch them all

Pre-Chorus

Chorus

Stop me
You said stop me
If I told you this before
