Philadelphia Story

Everyone wants a love song
That’s happy in the end
Let me tell you a story
That helped a broken heart mend.
He walked in through the doorway
Like something lost and found
My heart jumped out of my pocket
And round his hand it wound.
It’s a Philadelphia Story
This love has got a slant
With you I’ll never worry
You’re my Cary Grant.
We laughed and cried and sang
Together until he had to go
Halfway across the world he went
My heart back on death row
Midnight calls and lots of tears
He arrived back at my door
What can I tell you
What can I say
My voice was just a roar.
It’s a Philadelphia Story
This love has got a slant
With you I’ll never worry
You’re my Cary Grant.
You know I often wonder
How you brought him back to me
The boy with the wandering soul
Is happy to be free
He tells me love is all we need
To keep us rich with joy
How can I ever thank you Lord
For sending me this boy
It’s a Philadelphia story
This love will never die
With you I’ll never worry
There’s no use asking why.
