Letras
I was seven years old and the Earth just ten miles wide
From Mulberry Street to the edge of the West Village side
The school was a war, every day was the Berlin wall
In the back of the bus, and in the cafeteria hall
And the ice cream man more understood in Jesus Christ
Miss Valencia's kiss enough to wet your dreams for life
It was all I could
It was all I could do
It was all I could
It was all I could do, ooh
He wasn't Stalin for sure, he didn't have that kind of bone
Home on Saturday nights, he wasn't even a Rolling Stone
But the daddy was cold like a stranger in a new hotel
He lived behind his eyes, but you could never really tell
It was all he could
It was all he could do
It was all he could
It was all he could do, ooh
Then it happened one day when the sky dropped to the ground
When mother prepared to sever all the threads that they wound
With a gin and a club, just to help seven words go down
"We're gonna live on our own now," she said
But you know I'm gonna love you
You know I'm gonna love you
You know I'm gonna love you 'til the sun burns out
Oh, you know I'm gonna love you
You know I'm gonna love you
You know I'm gonna love you 'til the sun burns out
It was all she could
It was all she could do
It was all she could
It was all she could do
It was all she could
It was all she could do
It was all she could
It was all she could do
It was all we could
It was all we could do
It was all we could
It was all we could do
