Cross My Heart

Amanda Marshall

Joey D loves Lucy A

That's what the note said

5th grade

He's in her row two seats behind

Ten years old, the torture never ends

One day at recess she pulls him aside

She's taking his hand, She looks in his eyes

She's steppin' in close, So no one can hear

Then she whispers in his ear

She says



Tell me all your secrets

And I won't tell anybody

Pinky swear that I'm the one you love

When the world is dark

and you could swear you have no body

Look to the sky, it's written in the stars

Cross my heart



Time flies to graduation

They leave the party

Take a drive

She keeps asking where they're going

He laughs and looks away, it's a surprise

Out on the playground, right where they stood

Down on one knee he asks if she would

He gives her the ring, She starts to cry

It's the first night of the rest of their lives



Tell me all your secrets

And I won't tell anybody

Pinky swear that I'm the one you love

When the world is dark

and you could swear you have no body

Look to the sky, it's written in the stars

Cross my heart



Young love gets old

Real fast, In a small town

When you think your life is passing you by

It kills him to let her go

But she wants to fly

So he gives her the wings

And tells her goodbye



Baby Goodbye



The train enters the station

Track 11 on the Philadelphia line

He was early now he's waiting

And the people rush the doors

Some are laughing

Some are crying

Up on the platform

He scans the crowd

He doesn't see her

He looks all around

But damned disappointment hangs like a shroud

Suddenly a voice rings out

Says



Tell me all your secrets

And I won't tell anybody

Pinky swear that I'm the one you love

When the world gets dark

And you think you have no body

Look to the sky, it's written in the stars

Cross my heart



Tell me all your secrets

And I won't tell anybody
