David Bernstein - The Dime I Throw

Once upon a time there was a love
The kind complete with blessings from above
But every happy ending seems to take a turn or two
Who'd have thought they'd name a dead end street after you

Now I find myself in Central Park
And I'm not too worried though it's after dark
Someone kicks a rubbie who is holding down the ground
And the dime I throw just barely makes a sound

And I know I should forget you
'cause I'm only wasting time
And I'd like to try without you
But you're heavy on my mind
Don't you know that life is only
What you make it out to be
But the only light I see is in your eyes
And I'm not prepared to make the sacrifice
*So I got my head together
Tell me why then did you take me for a ride
When all I really wanted was to make you smile

Whatever happened to my yesterdays
They're in last week's paper flapping in the breeze
Gather 'round; the first acts playing a life we'd like to find
And the dime I throw gets lost between the lines

Is it really only time that stops the rain
Can you prescribe some for the pain
And will you squeeze a rainbow through to shine on me

And I know I should forget you
'cause I'm only wasting time
And I'd like to try without you
But you're heavy on my mind
Don't you know that life is only
What you make it out to be
But the only light I see is in your eyes
And I'm not prepared to make the sacrifice
*So I got my head together
Tell me why then did you take me for a ride
When all I really wanted was to make you smile
The only light I see is in your eyes
And I'm not prepared to make the sacrifice
*So I got my head together
Just in time to watch the picture fade to black
