Classic Poem

VERSE

False or true?
I wish I had a clue or two.
Where I stood I thought I knew,
Or should.
True or false?
Life was a never-ending waltz.
Then it caught the somersaults
For good.
Might have known
It would.

REFRAIN 1 SHE :

Ev'ry time my heart begins to dance,
The world steps on my little toes.
Ev'ry time I take a little chance,
I pay right through my little nose.
Ev'ry time I fly my little kite,
It catches on a tree.
Ev'ry time I throw an anchor out,
It pulls me in the sea.
Ev'ry time I feel a little glow,
I always get a little shock.
Ev'ry time I stick my little chin out,
I always get a little knock.
And when I aim my arrows at the sun,
They always miss their mark,
Leaving just a lonely lady in the dark.
Leaving just a lonely lady in the dark.

REFRAIN 2 HE :

Ev'ry time I feel a little brave,
I always get a little scare.
Ev'ry time I want a little bone,
I always find the cupboard bare.
Ev'ry time I play a little golf,
I'm always over par.
Ev'ry time I sail my little boat,
She's never very far.
Ev'ry time I feel a little warm,
I always catch a little cold.
Ev'ry time I feel a little young,
I always grow a little old
And when I build my cabin in the sky,
It tumbles from its mark,
Leaving just a lonely fellow in the dark.
