The Musical Box

Play me old King Cole
That I may join with you
All your hearts now seem so far from me
It hardly seems to matter nowAnd the nurse will tell you lies
Of a kingdom beyond the skies
But I am lost within this half world
It hardly seems to matter nowPlay me my song
Here it comes again
Play me my song
Here it comes againJust a little bit
Just a little bit more time
Time left to live out my lifePlay me my song
Here it comes again
Play me my song
Here it comes againOld King Cole was a merry old soul
And a merry old soul was he
So he called for his pipe
And he called for his bowl
And he called for his fiddlers threeThe clock, tick-tock
On the mantelpiece
And I want and I feel
And I know and I touch the wallShe's a lady, she's got time
Brush back your hair
And let me get to know your faceShe's a lady, she is mine
Brush back your hair
And let me get to know your fleshI've been waiting here for so long
And all this time that passed me by
It doesn't seem to matter nowYou stand there with your fixed expression
Casting doubt on all I have to say
Why don't you touch me, touch me?
Why don't you touch me, touch me?
Touch me now
Now, now, now
