Lights on the 

river bridge

Roll to the water's edge
              
Filling the ha

           
rbor with halo

s

The night was 

cold and black

When they were walking back
              
He held her ha

            
nd in the shad

ows


     
My  favorite
            
There is so mu

           
ch more to see
        
Why stay behin

d
             
When you could

           
 go on with me



Icicle centuri

es

Burst into gentle breeze
              
Somewhere a cu

             
rse had been l

  
ifted

She turned aro

und in her

Chair and he touched her hair
              
And the univer

      
se shifted


     
My  favorite
            
There is so mu

           
ch more to see
        
Why stay behin

d
             
When you could

           
 go on with me


   
Oh----Olivia
            
Won't you let 

             
your heart com

  
e home
   
Oh----Olivia
            
Leave those wi

             
ld young boys 

      
alone



Out on the sto

rmy cliff

Silvery waters lift
              
High with a wi

             
ld wind behind

 
 them

Vaporous rippl

ing

Like a drug or a dream
              
Eyes in the la

             
mplight were s

  
hining


     
My  favorite
