Come On Come On - Mary Chapin Carpenter

(Mary Chapin Carpenter)

Some people remember the first time 
Some can't forget the last 
Some just select what they want to from the past 
It's a song that you danced to in high school 
It's a moon you tried to bring down 
On a four-in-the-morning drive through the streets of town

Come on come on, it's getting late now 
Come on come on, take my hand 
Come on come on, you just have to whisper 
Come on come on, I will understand

It's a photograph taken in Paris, at the end of the honeymoon 
In 1948, late in the month of June 
Your parents smile for the camera in sienna shades of light 
Now you're older than they were then that summer night

Come on come on, it's getting late now 
Come on come on, take my hand 
Come on come on, you just have to whisper 
Come on come on, I will understand

It's a need you never get used to, so fierce and so confused 
It's a loss you never get over the first time you lose

And tonight I am thinking of someone, seventeen years ago 
We rode in his daddy's car down the river road

Come on come on, it's getting late now 
Come on come on, take my hand 
Come on come on, you just have to whisper 
Come on come on, I will understand 
Come on come on, it's getting late now 
Come on come on, take my hand 
Come on come on, you just have to whisper 
Come on come on, I will understand 
Come on come on
