keep your eyes open as if
love could come a walkin as if
everything else is meaningless, meaningless
and that's the way it oughta be

mysteries, especially she

oh everything else

is almost meaningless, meaningless

oh say

well i will always feel that way
and if a time a change should come
you'd remember my name

oh say

well i will always feel that way
and if a time a change should come

you'd remember my
you'd remember my name



keep your eyes open as if
everyone's a poet as if

everything else is meaningless, meaningless

and that's the way it oughta be, yea

mysteries, including me
oh well everything else

is almost meaningless, meaningless

oh yea, oh say

well i will always feel that way

and if a time a change should come

you'd remember my name

oh say

well i will always feel that way

and if a time a change should come

you'd remember my

you'd remember my

you'd remember my name



to be a little bit advanced

you gotta take a little bit of a second chance

on life

you gotta get on up and dance

you better throw all your precious plans

better wave them goodbye

a buh bye, buh bye, bye bye bye

ya gotta keep your eyes open

as if everything else is just along

come along on its way

and that's the way it oughta be

well mysteries in everything

well i say, i say

well i, i will always feel that way

and if a time a change should come

you'd remember my name

oh say

well i will always feel that way

and if a time a change should come

you'd remember my

you'd remember my

you'd remember my name
