That Time This Time

It’s that time of the year again
Trees turn out in misty green
Sun is creeping up my skin again
And I hear girls sing

I will call you up again
And ask: How are you?
I will laugh at your jokes again
This time I’ll be true

This time I won't give up
This time I won't run off
This time I’ll know just what to say
I won't back away, I will keep it up

This time I won't say no
This time I won't let go
This time I’ll be all that you need
You can leave it to me
I will be enough

I’ll take out my red dress
Put on my dancing shoes
Brush my hair till it shines
And go out to meet you

You’ll pour me my magic drink
The one that comes with a straw
That fizzes and sizzles and sparks
Like my fluttering heart

And we’ll laugh at the girls on Friday parade
How they jiggle and waggle and play with their shades
High on their heads and low on their noses

This time I won't give up
This time I won't run off
This time I'll know just what to say
I won't back away, I will keep it up

This time I won't say no
This time I won't let go
This time I’ll be all that you need
Leave it to me
I will be enough
