[00:04.78]I guess you're never gonna come back for me, Ma
[00:09.65]With a suitcase of pretty dresses and shoes
[00:17.99]One for you and one for me, Ma
[00:21.92]And perfume for the ladies looking after me too
[00:29.34]There was a chair beside the door I wished you'd walk through
[00:34.58]Wearing your sad eyes of brown
[00:41.55]You'd stand beside me and we'd wind the Victrola
[00:46.73]And sing along together, make the sweetest sounds
[00:53.63]I used to think it might be who I am
[00:57.98]Maybe who I am wasn't right
[01:05.55]And I'd wonder if you missed me the same way
[01:11.75]Lonely day after lonely night
[01:18.47]But I know you must have had a good reason
[01:23.62]You had a good reason, alright
[01:53.81]I guess you're never gonna see me smiling
[01:58.21]All the lines of people winding around the block
[02:05.64]The world is mine and it's a microphone in my hand
[02:10.96]Singing with the band, Ma, the toast of the town
[02:17.72]Sometimes I think I see you out there smiling
[02:23.42]Your pretty sad eyes singing along
[02:30.63]And all at once I'm above with no ceiling
[02:34.92]A voice and a feeling like I'll never come down
[02:41.27]I used to think it might be who I am
[02:46.12]Maybe who I am wasn't right
[02:53.43]And I'd wonder if you missed me the same way
[02:59.23]Lonely day after lonely night
[03:06.18]But I know you must have had a good reason
[03:12.15]You had a good reason, alright
