The Morning Papers

He realized that she was new to love
Naïve in every way
Every schoolboy's fantasy she was
That's why he had to wait
If he poured his heart into a glass
And offered it like wine
She could drink and be back in time for the morning papers

They could take a walk down the oceanside
Make a wish on every wave
They could find a carousel and ride
Or kiss in every cave
They could contemplate the entire universe
Or just one star
Oh, just how far was the walk for the morning papers

Let me play it for you one time, oh-oh
Well
Hey
Shucks

Why is age more than a number
When it comes to love?
Should we ask the ones who speculate
When they don't know what it's made of?
Should we ask the moonlight on your face
Or the raindrops in your hair
Or should we ask the man who wrote it there in the morning papers? Hey
Should we ask the moonlight on your face
Or the raindrops in your hair
Should we ask the man who wrote it there in the morning papers?
Oh, yes

Somebody help me sing it now
La-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
Oh, yes

La-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
Go play

La-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
Okay
