The Backyard Of My Life

Work Your Way


You got my heart on a string
You like to have the last say
There's something special in your style
I love to see you work your way
To get what you want

You use every trick in your little black book
To keep me hanging on for one more day
There must be some kind of magic behind your eyes
When i watch you work your way
To catch all of your dreams

Shes got me captivated and under a spell
How she holds the whole wide world in her hands
I ask her how its done but she will never tell
While waves wash over a castle on shifting sands

You got me thinking about you
Making success seem so easy like child's play
Your much too modest to take credit its
Magnificent and amazing to see you work your way
To where you want to be

Your keeping me awake at night
Maybe its a heavy price i must pay
To marvel in your wonderment
To be present as a witness while you work your way
One step closer to a brighter tomorrow

You made my soul surrender
I put my hands together and started to pray
There's something heavenly in the sound of your voice
Speaking only the truth when you work your way
Out of the Bowery slums
The perfect performance a classic cliche
A wonderful woman working her way
From the bottom back to the top
