Alice

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Alice goes to church on Sunday Then she washes all her clothes for Monday Alice's life is neatly planned each hour and each minute How can a guy like me fit in it? But Saturday night we danced And I looked into her eyes And what I saw that took my heart completely by surprise [Chorus] The music swelled the first time I held Alice The lights went dim and all I saw was her They played a song, I sang along to Alice And all around me, things became a blur People stopped and starred as I held Alice And after all the music was long gone I heard a hush, I saw a blush on Alice Time stood still and we went dancing on [Bridge] There we were the two of us Waiting for the crosstown bus Had a whole lot to discuss with Alice I was nervous, she never guessed I talk too much, she seemed impressed I go east but I went west for Alice Alice! Suddenly we looked up and saw the moon I made a wish not to let tonight end soon [Verse 2] But Alice still obeys her mother Who doesn't like us seeing each other Alice's mother doesn't know the kind of stuff I'm made of I don't know what she's afraid of All we did was dance, really that was all Then all it took was just one look And I began to fall [Chorus] I was felled the first time I held Alice The lights went dim and all I saw was her They played a song, I sang along to Alice And now things are simply not the way they were On the streets, heads turned as I held Alice We walked along like school kids at a prom I didn't care, 'cause I was there with Alice Time stood still and we went dancing on [Bridge] Stars came out and filled the sky And I knew no matter how I tried I could never say goodbye to Alice The skylight seemed to shine so bright Every moment felt so right Then a voice said, "Say goodnight, Alice!" Alice! Even your mother's voice is sweet to me From now on, that's the way it's gonna be [Chorus] The moment's gold each time I hold Alice The light goes dim and all I see is her I hear a song I sing along to Alice And all those wonderful feelings still occur I feel bold each time I hold Alice We dance until the music is all gone There's still a crush, there's still a blush on Alice Time stands still and we'll go dancing on Time stands still and we'll go dancing on
