You Will Never Learn to Play the Cello

Where have you been, off somewhere disappointing
Making the plans that do not require me Finding a way to put the best spin on your history,
Your dreams, and the entries in your diary
The afternoon opens with blue skies and promise
Wishing me well, the sun follows blindly
My worries are safe locked up with my dreams
So I walk back to the car as the sun goes down behind me Why must you be Such a disappointment
Why must you be Fate’s favorite fool
Why must you be Such a disappointment
When every day is racing to be through
And the sun knows everybody loves me And the sun tells me «Soon, my baby, soon»
And the sun sees my thoughts are never ugly
But here comes the moon
The prizes are gone but they keep on buying tickets
Wishing you well though they bought off all your jokes
Ignoring the facts, dispensing bad advice
On all life has to offer when you treat it as a hoax
Why must you be Such a disappointment
Why must you be Fate’s favorite fool
Why must you be Such a disappointment
When it’s every bit as easy to come through
And the sun knows everybody loves me And he’s friends with all the angels you make swoon
There’s no harm done that he cannot undo
But here comes the moon
Will all your luck hold out
'Til they start to mind
You’ll never learn to do the things
Or be the things you wanted to
'Til you learn to be kind
The sky opens up and washes us with promise
The sun is away that means only kindness
Your worries are safe, yeah they’re locked up with my dreams
So we walk back to the car as the lights go up behind us And the sun knows everybody loves me And the sun tells me «True love’s ever true»
And the sun sees the world is never ugly
But he’s never met you
