Johnny Mathis · Other Songs - Johnny Mathis
We never should begin it, Evie
Someone's already written a song for you
You're so rigth for me
But i'm all wrong for you
If time was half a niceguy, Evie
We migth have had a nice try, Evie
But sometimes a single moment
Changes all the ones that follow
And tho it's doom'd and damm'd and dying
Something in me won't stop trying
Evie, is all up to you
Ooooh,
Sometimes a single moment
Changes all the ones that follow
And tho it's doom'd and damm'd and dying
Something in me won't stop trying
Evie, is all up to you
