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)
