Harry Connick Jr. - Blue Light, Red Light Album Lyrics

What Colombus set out to discover
Isabelle already knew
There'll be horizons and skylines and other lovers
But I always remember you

If I could rearrange history
And give it to you as a gift
There would be one more movement
In Beethoven's fifth

Why, oh why, in a land of plenty
Some just have to make due
At the end of a breadline with just a penny
I'll always remember you

I rode a roller coaster
From Coney Island to Key West
I held on with one finger
So the other ten could rest
It may be hard to believe
Hard to comprehend
But baby, you didn't know me when

I played third chair trombone
In an out-of-work polka band
We looked for gigs on ships
In countries that had no land
It may be hard to believe
We hit the top ten
But baby, you didn't know me when

If you want a resume I'll put it in writing
It's only good for a day and the contents are frightening

I gave long-winded speeches
I was a head-of-state
I wrote an endless novel
Called See Jane Love And Hate
It may be hard to believe
I'm reticent
But baby, you didn't know me when

Like when we kiss
My eyes won't open
My heart won't listen
And I don't have a word to say
No, not a word

Look, my darling
And you'll hear me sing "I love you"
With my eyes
Let me hold you
Really hold you
Then you'll know my heart

Just can't tell lies
It knows a true love
It knows it's you, love
And it knows that you say
You love me
And I say I love you, too

When she left
He was tortured
She was gone
They were confused
He was forgetful
They were supportive
He was funny
They were amused

He did things that only superman could do
Things that sis and I could not believe were true

He is older
They are loving
He is hardened
They are grown
He is needing
They are giving
He is glad they are his own

If I could give you more
I'd make the streets safe
For every homeless waif
That wanders alone to a foreign shore
If I could give you more

See that you are sainted
Remain true and pure
So that you never get lost
No matter what you may endure

If I could give you more
I'd hand the world a phrase
That could not be erased
And tells of a love that's never been before
Oh, I will give you more

The shallow pocket changer
Who always took advantage of strangers
Tried to make a five-grand grab
With a split second getaway
But he forgot that a bag of money
Ain't worth much on a slab
When it's your last payday

That line about luck just can't be bought
You're always lucky 'til you get caught
Trouble will find you, no need to look
And luck won't help when they close the book

I know a lot of young fellas in here
Especially those on the highest tier
Still want to believe
That Santa comes in a sleigh
They're right about the long white beard
But wrong about Christmas Eve
What's Christmas, when it's your last payday

It's time to admit you love me
I feel the weight of your gaze
The smile that's mine alone
Your starry eyes sparkle ablaze

It's such a simple thing
How hard can it be
These few words
Endear you to me

It's time to admit I love you
And lift the worry from your brow
Rest your head upon my shoulder
There's nothing to be afraid of now

So I kissed her... but I never thought
She'd belong to me
And when I felt her lips I skipped a heartbeat
'Cause I was so in love with this girl
Oh, and how many times does your heart meet
The most beautiful girl in the world

So I thought and thought about her
I just couldn't stop thinking about her
And I died when she called me up and said
She couldn't stop thinking about me

Now I love her... but I never thought
She'd belong to me
Now guys are calling wanting to be boyfriends
But they're going to have to answer to me
Oh, 'cause I'm going to tell all those toy friends
That she belongs to me

I cried all night for Sonny
We shook hands and said goodbye
His face was etched with sorrow
His heart without a hue
I cried all night for Sonny
I heard he was crying, too

When you try and love two people
You can't love either one
'Cause after a while you'll have to choose
Or else love self denial

I stayed all night with Sonny
Like there'd never be another day
Go on and sleep 'til sunset
And I'll watch over you
I cried all night for Sonny
I know he was crying, too

Don't worry with your lipstick
I'm gonna kiss it all away
Throw away your lipstick
That ain't your color, anyway

My Lips Are Your Color
So Lips, Stick With Me!

Ooo, when you kiss me
I've got to know just how much you miss me

Kiss me
And I'll take your lips to paradise
Kiss me
And paradise will never feel so nice

You're beautiful
You don't need all that make up
And you don't need to take up
All of your time in front of the mirror
Don't you know that you're my deara
Baby, can't you see we're in love

Ooo, when you kiss me
I've got to know just how much you miss me

Kiss me
And put all the stars back in the sky
Kiss me
And maybe then you'll know the reason why
I want you
And my love's gonna haunt you
And I'm gonna flaunt you

In front of all the boys that live on my street
And they're gonna be jealous 'cause you're so sweet
Do you think I should repeat
Do you think I should repeat
Repeat
Repeat
Aw, say it, man!

I'm in love
Love
I'm in love

I'm in love
Sweet love
