Dear Abbie Paroles

And I've always been quite active at the club.

But the life I lead?s so lonesome

That I wonder, Abbie, if you?ve ever known

What it's like to live in others? dreams

And never have a dream to call your own.

There's a divorcee in Dallas,

There's a girl who?s much too young in Idaho.

London Bridge is falling down

And the clergyman is out of town

And there?s a daughter no one wants in Buffalo.
I'm just wondering if there?s any silver lining left

Behind the golden door.



And dear Abbie, Abbie I just had to write.

Dear Abbie, Abbie is there any love in sight ?



Well, the last time that I saw you

You were living at the old Chelsea Hotel.

Even though it's been a while, hell

Even now it makes me smile

To think of how you tennis-shoed the bill.

And it seems like only yesterday

You fell off of the sea-saw and you cried

And your daddy lit the fireworks

In the backyard on the fourth day of July.



And dear Abbie, Abbie I just had to write,

Dear Abbie, Abbie, where are you tonight ?
