Mary Chapin Carpenter - Come On Come On lyrics

rate me

Some people remember the first time

Some can't forget the last

Some just select what they want to from the past

It's a song that you danced to in high school

It's a moon you tried to bring down

On a four-in-the-morning drive through the streets of town

Come on come on, it's getting late now

Come on come on, take my hand

Come on come on, you just have to whisper

Come on come on, I will understand

It's a photograph taken in Paris, at the end of the honeymoon

In 1948, late in the month of June

Your parents smile for the camera in sienna shades of light

Now you're older than they were then that summer night

Come on come on, it's getting late now

Come on come on, take my hand

Come on come on, you just have to whisper

Come on come on, I will understand

It's a need you never get used to, so fierce and so confused

It's a loss you never get over the first time you lose

And tonight I am thinking of someone, seventeen years ago

We rode in his daddy's car down the river road

Come on come on, it's getting late now

Come on come on, take my hand

Come on come on, you just have to whisper

Come on come on, I will understand

Come on come on, it's getting late now

Come on come on, take my hand

Come on come on, you just have to whisper

Come on come on, I will understand

Come on come on
