Ballyhoo Days
by B.J. Thomas

Album: The Very Best of B.J. Thomas

Sitting at the stage door of the Palace
Looking down the alley two ways
One way takes my mind back home to Alice
The other to my ballyhoo days

There was a time my name had swept the nation
But now my job is sweeping cafes
I wonder how much living I have wasted
Clinging to my ballyhoo days

Ballyhoo days
Ballyhoo days
God almighty when I go
Please let me go dancing ...
Dancing

I've seen life from both sides of the curtain
And the only life for me is the stage
But nowadays my work is more uncertain
And filled with dreams of ballyhoo days

Ballyhoo days
Ballyhoo days
God almighty when I go
Please let me go dancing ...
Dancing ...
Dancing ...
In a ballyhoo way
Like my ballyhoo days

I Love Us

I love us
And everything we are
And all the things we do
And everything our love has meant to me and you
I couldn't care less what others might be thinking of us
'Cause I love us
Together

I love us

My piece of mind was just a sometime thing
A song just left for someone else to sing
But since you've been my friend
Happy songs have known no end
And I love us

And everything we are
And all the things we do
And everything our love has meant to me and you
I couldn't care less what others might be thinking of us
'Cause I love us
Together

I love us

Giving more than love needs to survive
Brings us the joy of simply being alive
More and more each day
I hear my heart say

I love us

And everything we are
And all the things we do
And everything our love has meant to me and you
I couldn't care less what others might be thinking of us
'Cause I love us
Together

I love us
