Silver Buttons
Young brothers
In the wrinkles fade your dreams
And through the walls I hear a scream
I am weak and you are strong
I said the words did I say them wrong
Little ones should always belong
I got no blue ribbons
I played no lead roles
No kisses from the homecoming queen
No game winning runs
Or taste of the gold
But I have got
A dream or two and I've been dreaming of ways
To tell you
Bright lights
Big city
And all these big city things
Welcome to the real temptation
And it's a quarter til and time for school
And another day baby to play it cool
The corner for a big mouth like me
I got no blue ribbons
I played no lead roles
No kisses from the homecoming queen
No game winning runs
Or taste of the gold
But I have got
A dream or two and I've been dreaming of ways
To tell you
At all the right times
I said all the wrong things
Lately when the words come out wrong
You know what I mean
And all I've got to give you is this
Dream or two and I've been dreaming of ways to tell you
