Sometimes I hear you callin'

Sometimes I feel your pain

I never heard you call out my name

But just the same


You never gave me no warning

Still, it's a crying shame

That you would choose to end it this way

What can I say?


No matter what you say or do

You will always be my Baby Blue

Sometimes I feel I have fallen from grace

Since you went away


Said you didn't really want my love

Said you didn't really want my love

Said you didn't really want my love

Still, I would be there

Yes, I would be there


So put it in layaway, they keep it for you night and day

But keep this monkey off of my back

Put it in layaway, play a little every day

Let's keep some money in the bank


Sometimes I hear you callin'

Sometimes I feel your pain

I never heard you call out my name

But just the same


You never gave me no warning

Still, it's a crying shame

That you would choose to end it this way

What can I say?


No matter what you say or do

You will always be my Baby Blue

Sometimes I feel I have fallen from grace

Since you went away


Said you didn't really want my love

Said you didn't really want my love

Said you didn't really want my love

Still, I would be there

Yes, I would be there


So put it in layaway, they keep it for you night and day

But take this monkey off of my back

Put it in layaway, and play a little every day

Let's keep some money in the bank


Put it in layaway, play a little every day

Let's keep some money in the bank

Put it in layaway, they keep it for you night and day

Let's keep the money clinking back.

LAYAWAY ["A Place In Time" version] (Mike Gibbins)

Sometimes I hear you callin'

Sometimes I feel your pain

I never heard you call out my name

But just the same


You never gave me no warning

Still, it's a crying shame

That you would choose to end it this way

What can I say?


No matter what they say or do

You will always be my Baby Blue

Sometimes I feel I have fallen from grace

Since you went away


Said you didn't really want my love

Didn't really want my love

Didn't really want my love

Still, I would be there

Yes, I would be there


You put it in layaway

You couldn't wait another day

You put this monkey on my back

You put it in layaway

You couldn't live another day

You put this monkey on my back


Sometimes I hear you callin'

Sometimes I feel your pain

I never heard you call out my name

But just the same


You never gave us no warning

Still, it's a crying shame

That you would choose to end it this way

What can I say?


No matter what they say or do

You will always be my Baby Blue

Sometimes I feel I have fallen from grace

Since you went away


Said you didn't really want my love

Didn't really want my love

Didn't really want my love

Still, I would be there

Yes, I would be there


You put it in layaway

You couldn't live another day

You put this monkey on my back

You put it in layaway

You couldn't live another day

You put this monkey on my back


You put it in layaway

You couldn't live another day

You put this monkey on my back

You put it in layaway

You couldn't wait another day

You put this monkey on my back.
