Lyrics

Oh, boy, you're starry eyed
Lie back, baby, lie back
You've got heaven in your eyes
I like that, boy, I like that

Life doesn't always work out like you planned it
They say make lemonade outta lemons
But I tried and I just can't understand it

All this tryin' for no good reason
Man makes plans, and God laughs
Why do I even bother to ask?

Well, once, you and I
We were the king and queen of this town
It doesn't matter now, the sun's settin' on our love
Bye, baby

Oh, boy, you're starry eyed
Lie back, baby, lie back
You've got heaven in your eyes
I like that, boy, I like that

Life doesn't always work out like you planned it
They say make lemonade outta lemons
But I tried and I can't understand it

All this beggin' for no good reason
Man makes plans, and God laughs
Why do I even bother to ask, honey?

Once you and I
We were the king and queen of this town
Doesn't matter now, sun's settin' on our love
Bye, bye, baby

Oh, boy, you're starry eyed
Lie back, baby, lie back
You've got heaven in your eyes
I like that, boy, I like that

It doesn't matter what they say
Let's go do it anyway
'Cause you and I have an undying kind of love
You can be mine, I'll be yours
Come on, baby

Oh, boy, you're starry eyed
Lie back, baby, lie back
You've got heaven in your eyes
I like that, boy, I like that

Oh, boy, you're starry eyed
Lie back, baby, lie back
You've got heaven in your eyes
I like that, boy, I like that
