1963

It was January 1963 when Johnny came home with a gift for me,
He said I bought it for you because I love you,
And I bought it for you cause it's your birthday too,
He was very nice and he was so very kind,
To think of me at this point in time.

I used to think of him,
He used to think of me.

He told me to close my eyes,
My gift would be a great surprise,
I saw tears run in his eyes,
But he never meant to hurt me,
Oh God.

Johnny don't point that gun at me,
There's so many ways our lives have changed,
But please I beg don't do this to me.

Johnny don't point that gun at me,
Can I save my life at any price?
For God's sake won't you listen to me?

And though he was ashamed that he had took a life,
Johnny came with another wife,
And he often remembered how it used to be,
Before that specail occasion 1963,
There was too many ways that you could kill somone,
Like in a love affair when the love has gone.

He used to think of her,
She used to think of him.

He told me to close my eyes,
My gift would be a great surprise,
I saw hatred in his eyes,
But he never meant to hurt me,
Oh God.

Johnny don't point that gun at me,
There's so many ways our lives have changed,
But please I beg don't do this to me.

Johnny you keep on using me,
Can I change my life for any price?
Johnny won't you listen to me?

I just want you to be mine,
I don't want this world to shine,
I don't want this bridge to burn,
Johnny do you miss me?

I just want to feel for you,
I will always feel for you,
I will always feel for you,
I will always feel for you.
