lyrics

She Was So Sweet On 52nd Street
(Paroles et musique: Desmarais-Racine)

A Asus4

C F
I've been countin' the days
C
Since you left
F
But now I think
G C
I'll start to count for real

C F C
I feel empty all the time
G/B Am
Can't you see?
F
The love you found
G A
Is still a part of me

C#m
I did understand
F#m
Everything you said
Bm
Well not clearly everything
A
But some of it I guess

C#m
But the fact is
F#m
That I didn't had those feelings
Bm
For a girl since at least
D G A
Five long years

F
So don't you
G C G/B Am
Minimize my love, baby please
F G C C7
Don't you remember how it was?
F G
Don't you realize
C G/B Am
That it was such a tease?
F G A
To show me how it can really feel

I've been wishin' for the rain
Every step
To make it
Ok to be inside

The sun in the sky is too often
There I think
It's not fair
For those of us who are sick

One month of your lovin'
And then it's finally gone
What made you
Strangely change your mind?

'Cause now I pay the price
For 40 days of love
With a life-sentence
Of scars and blue sorrow

So don't you
Minimize my love, baby please
Don't you remember how it was?
Don't you realize
That it was such a tease?
To show me how it can really feel

Am
The minutes passes
E7
The more you flee
Am E7
The more you're far from me
Am
The painter cries
Dm
The muse is free
G A
She'll inspire him eternally

'Cause now it's been
Six months already
And now this
Kinda feel silly

I'm still writing all those songs
For this girl
Who made it clear
That she didn't loved me

But I can't deny
Those feelings that I had
And that I still have
They're really there to stay

The only thing I can think of
To make it more okay
Is to write those songs
It is the only way

So don't you
Minimize my love, baby please
Don't you remember how it was?
Don't you realize
That it was such a tease?
To show me how it can really feel
F G Am
Why are you afraid to feel?
