Smile and Wave

Threw myself a, ticker-tape parade
Bought a crowd to line the way
And so complete the charade

And confetti, rained down from the sky
As we laughed in the streets
Livin' my alibi

And this is, all true
That I'd never said those three words before...

Bought myself an, apartment in the city
With a downtown view
And remember when we, were pretty

Pretty alright,
So far as that goes
Though I guess no one knows

That this is, all true
And I'll never say those three words to you...

Booked myself on, the first class out of here
On a fast train too slow
To take me where I want to go

But if I'd known, you were at the end of the line
Then I'd have taken my time...
