There Was A Boy

Lyrics

[ EILEEN, spoken ] Your eyes... they used to be such an oceanic blue. I wouldn't have been surprised if a sea turtle swam by! Now they've gone distinctly gray [ EILEEN ] There was a boy who liked everything Sun, people, boats, sugar Indigo eyes took in everything Lakes, camels, cars, picture Skies, skateboards, dogs, summer Where is that boy? If he's hanging around Some lost-and-found Please tell him I'm here Where is that boy? If he's climbing a tree Say hi for me If he's under the stairs In his castle of chairs Please tell him I'm here Glass will cut you Suns will set On ugly days we'd best forget Storms and shipwrecks I've had mine What do I do? I readjust I realign There was a boy who had everything Sparks, freckles, luck, laughter How many boys can have everything? Brains, braces, God, girlfriends Jokes, passions, life, lightning Where is that boy? If he's out on his swing Or caroling If he's still on his stilts Or hiding inside his fortress of quilts Please tell him I'm here There was a boy who liked... [ EILEEN, spoken ] Or maybe you haven't seen him
