lyrics

Out my window a brown leaf falls
through gray sky to-ooo the ground.
The wind is cool, I'm back in school.
The sun is going down.

October rain and August Comte make such a gloomy pair.
There's books to read, and loss to grieve.
I Think I'll wash my hair.

(Chorus)
Then, there's you.
And before you know it: there, there's me.
And diamond rings and all those things,
and the world starts smiling round and round and...

(Repeat)
...then, there's you.
And before you know it: there, there's me.
And diamond rings and all those things. A new world. Today.

(Verse 2)

Spring has sprung, cliches have won,
and one plus one maaaakes three.
Apartment's small, what I'd give for a hall.
But there's no place I'd rather be.

Cynicism is a cloak that cannot keep you warm
Foundations shake
And levys break...
And the world keeps turnin round and round and...

(Chorus)

...Then, there's you.
And before you know it: there, there's me.
And diamond rings and all those things and our world keeps smiling round
and round.

(Repeat)

...then, there's you.
And before you know it: there, there's me.
And diamond rings and all those things. A new world. Today.
