Sidewalk Song
Forty-seven cracks in the sidewalk that leads from my house to yours
How do I know? I count them everyday
While following you from my house to yours
And though you don t know I m with you all the way
Wishing I could say âStop! I love you, darlin won t you stayâ
But I always hang my head
And count all the cracks in the sidewalk instead.
Seventeen streetlights stand in between my house and yours
How do I know? I count them every night
While tracing my steps from my house to yours
To the golden glow of your window light
Wish somehow you knew how long I ve been in love with you
And wishin I were dead
I count all the cracks in the sidewalk on my way home to bed.
