Lyrics

MILKSHAKE

© 2003, 2010. Amadeus WAM

Finishing my coffee,
Above the Blue Street frantic,
You walk into the restaurant,
Looking to stop traffic.

Yeah, it’s been a while,
I’ve been doing OK.
But now you’ve set my heart aflame again,
You’ll steal it away.

Chorus
Inside me the burdens of my past,
Suddenly melt away.
No more regrets
Or dark clouds that separate me.
Just the heart-stopping thrill of the moment,
And the innocent anticipation,
Of a future full of possibility.

Waiter sets down your chocolate milkshake.
Fluted glass takes me back,
Two kids in a milk bar,
Circa nineteen sixty three.

Look back up and the woman serene is gone.
In her place, pony tail and a rosy face.
The vision of my,
Teenage hopes and dreams.

(Repeat Chorus)
