Words and music by Bobby Fay Permanent Frown (copyright Bobby Fay 1997) I’m wearing a permanent frown. I had it burned and tattooed to my heart. I’m holding on to a dozen dead roses. I had delivered to myself. I was as happy as could be. You were the only one for me. Now see what you’ve done to me. You left me ‘lone in misery. I’ve become the neighborhood clown. I took the part and I play it oh so well. I’m swimming in the deepest of blue oceans. I carved out a long, long time ago. My frown’s the only thing I have. To remind me of you. This frown’s the only thing I have. That’s still a part of you. Take my blues away. I’m wearing a sharp thorny crown. I had it made. And I wear it oh so proud. I wanted to maybe marry you. I’ll never ever remove this permanent frown. I’m holding on to a dozen dead roses. I killed all by my lonesome self. Permanent frown.

I Didn't Know (Pt. 2) I asked myself today. Why did she go? I couldn’t find an answer. I didn’t know. We shared our dreams together. And so much more. I know there’ll be another. But it’s her. I adore. I can’t go on pretending. I’m feeling fine. I’m sick. Of always losing. All that was mine. Days are getting shorter. Nights are getting long. I wonder what she’s doing. I’m sure. She’s moving on. I didn’t know. How she go? I didn’t know. Why would she go? I know. I didn’t know. I know. I didn’t know. She said. This time apart. Will do us some good. It’s only made it worse. Like I knew it would. She said. I still love you. We need to be friends. That’s why I know. I’ll never see. Her again. I hope she’s happy now. While I’m such a mess. It’ll all. Or nothing for me. I won’t take less. A love. That lasts forever. Never sticks around. Take it from me. I know. ‘Cuz mine. Let me down.

So tonight. I’ll say goodbye. Last time. I’ll see you smile. So long. Honey child. May the good Lord. Watch over you. Say goodbye. Don’t look back. Wipe the tear. I’m on my way. I’m on a road to find. True love. And peace of mind. Fare thee well. Honey Pie. May you find. What you’re searching for. And later on. Years from now. Your smile. I will recall. I’ll say goodbye. Another time. May this life. Be good to you.

A Place In Time I visited her grave today. I was feeling ashamed. I try to find peace that way. In the back of my mind. I'm haunted by ghosts sometimes. Otherwise, I'm fine. Tomorrow's another day of my life left behind. Everyone was born to die. Everyone was made to cry. You can't push back the hands of time. But you can go back to a place in time. A time where you had no worries in your day. A time where you didn't have a care in the world. Everyone was born to live. Everyone was made to give. She hides behind lonely tears a smile just can't hide. She lives beyond emptiness with sorrow at her side. She's haunted by ghosts sometimes. Otherwise, she's fine. Tomorrow's another day of her life left behind. Everyone was born to die. Everyone was made to cry. You can't push back the hands of time. But you can go back to a place in time. A time where you had no worries in your day. A time where you didn't have a care in the world. Everyone was born to live. Everyone was made to give. It's time to get born again. He watches her sleep at night to chase away fears. He tries to find peace that way to ease his worried mind. He's haunted by life sometimes. Otherwise, he's fine. Tomorrow's another day with his ghosts close behind. Everyone was born to die. Everyone was made to cry. You can't push back the hands of time. But you can go back to a place in time. A time where you had no worries in your day. A time where you didn't have a care in the world. Everyone was born to live. Everyone was made to give. You can't push back the hands of time. But you can go back to a place in time. A time where you had no worries in your day. A time where you didn't have a care in the world.

That Your Mine Everything change. Life’s funny that way. It’s well understood. It just happens that way. It’s time to forget. The trouble you’ve seen. Time to enjoy. The moment at hand. So when I am gone. Smile once for me. It’s all in the way your eyes choose to see. California wine. A good friend of mine. Gonna wash away the pain. Like New York rain. Hurry. Don’t be long. I’ll miss you while I’m gone. Tell everyone I know. Everywhere I go. That you’re mine. I know where you’ve been. I’ve seen what you’ve seen. The smile on your face. Gives it all away. How long has it been? Since yesterday, child. You whispered your dreams. Into my ear. Don’t you know that by now. I’m taken by you? Up until now. It was all just a dream. California wine. A good friend of mine. Gonna wash away the pain. Like New York rain. Hurry. Don’t be long. I’ll miss you when I’m gone. Take you where I go. Tell everyone I know. That you’re mine. It’s hard to come down. When your heads in the clouds. But you’re looking so fine. With your feet on the ground. Live with a smile. That’s all you can do. Try to spread joy. In all that you do. I’ll meet you at night. When the star’s shining bright. I’m everywhere you are. In your dreams. In your life. California wine. A good friend of mine. Gonna wash away the pain. Like New York rain. Hurry. Don’t be long. I’ll miss you when I’m gone. Take you where I go. Tell everyone I know. That you’re mine.

Your Beauty Still Lies Thought about you for a moment. Those times when we were on the run. Take a deep breath, stop to think about those days so innocent. So young. I held your hand. You held your mystery. Far beyond the setting sun. Baby, you know you were so brilliant. Baby, did you know you were the one? Remember our love could move mountains? And our love could part seas. Now you and I can't ignore. How hard it is to let that love just be. You say you're living in darkness. Even the sun must hide sometimes. Way beyond those blackened shadows. Baby, your beauty still lies. I, too, stand behind shadows. Of years made up of broken dreams. Just when it seems you're not born to have. Baby, it's not as bad as it seems. So in this ocean of madness. Baby, again you should find me. I'm yours. You know I always have been. A broken heart has set me free. So way beyond the horizon. There lies a promise for everyone. I know you and I will find fortune. Far beyond the setting sun. You say you're living in darkness. Even the sun must hide sometimes. Way beyond those blackened shadows. Baby, your beauty still lies.

Suzanne Suzanne was looking at her life. Suzanne, be careful with your life. I know it’s going to be alright. I know it’s going to work out fine. If I should wander in your day. If I should stumble in your mind. You know I know you all too well. You know you’ve nothing left to hide. High above this city. I know we’re going to shine. Shine. Shine. Shine. Shine. I want to crumble in your arms. I want to tumble in your dreams. I want to see you smile again. I want to light the sky in your name. High above this city. I know we’re going to shine. Shine. Shine. Shine. Shine. Suzanne, you’re going to be a star. Suzanne, to me you know you are.

How Can I Tell You? You got a nice way. Of looking at me. You got a cool way. Of sayin’ my name. I love your dark eyes. I love your warm smile. I got a feeling. I’m falling for you. Spin me ‘round. Turn me upside down. Fool around. Make me hit the ground. You, you take my breath away. More than any words can say. You, you are the perfect day. Beautiful in every way. I got the fever. For your kisses. I got a burnin’. For your touch. How can I tell you? I think I love you. How can I tell? I think I care. Hypnotized. Mesmerized. Paralyzed. By those warm, sweet eyes. You, you take my breath away. More than any words can say. You, you are the perfect day. Beautiful in every way. Spin me ‘round. Turn me upside down. Fool around. Make me hit the ground. Hypnotized. Mesmerized. Paralyzed. By those warm, sweet eyes. You, you take my breath away. More than any words can say. You, you are the perfect day. Beautiful in every way.
