I know you’re pretty and you're young

You’re like an icicle in the sun

You sparkle and you shine okay

And one day soon you’ll melt away

Fade away, melt away

It’s 6’o clock, and growing colder

And nobody looks out on the bay

Her breath is fogging up the window

But I can see her cry

The water glistened in her eye

It trickled down and caught the light

And crashed down quietly

Yeah you’re pretty and you're young

But no one said it’s any fun

I know you heard somebody say

Every dog must have it’s day

It’s not your day so bark away

It’s 8’o clock and growing older

She wonders why they stay away

Her dress just don’t fit her like it used to

The meter’s running out

She gets another shilling out

She sighs and then she settles down

Another evening…

Yeah you’re pretty and you're young

You're bursting out and having fun

From where I stand you look okay

Oh i'll remember you this way

Come this way, don't delay

Play the worn out tape

The one that has you smiling

Play the part where each one leaves and waves goodbye

Turn the volume down

On all the old excuses

The ones that said I do

Or I will if I could

It's true, 'cause when you're old there's nothing new

But just remember

The ones that said I do

I would if I could, it’s true

‘Cause when you’re old there’s nothing new

But just remember

When you’re pretty and you're young

It’s sad to see what she's become

And you just want to shake and shout

Meet somebody going out

Look straight ahead and part the crowd

That covers her up like a shroud

You you’re pretty and you're young

You’re like an icicle in the sun

Number one, rule of thumb
