Three Hopeful Thoughts

All this talk of your sweet girlfriend Is startin' to pay off And the charms that she got from travel Are startin' to wear off And I hope that you smile tonight Watching the last of your friends arrive Smile and shake their hands And the hero that you hoped you'd be Never seemed to show up And if I can keep on talking There won't be time to give up And I hope that I drive tonight Into the last of the great sunrises I'll smile and wave my hand Goodbye If things don't work out quite the way you Planned it's almost half past two And I've begun to hate the way You smile so slowly And I hope that you close your eyes And balk at the pain of a thousand wives And I hope that you die tonight Just close your eyes and it goes away Smile, I'll brave it When you wave your hand Goodbye
