You Are My Favorite Song

You Are My Favorite Song - Chris Mills

I love the way your verses

Are all filled with curses

But your middle eight

Is so delicate

And your chorus I could never forget

The way it sways and swells

What heart could imagine

Lines so tender a coda so tragic

And a melody so clear and strong

You are my favorite song

The one where everything goes wrong

I could play you all night long

Until the sun comes rolling up

Were you born on a barroom napkin

Or in the heart of some seasick captain

Longing for the shore

As the waves beat four by four

Or maybe six by eight

Were you once a waltz with a loping gait

Did lovers' cheeks fill with heat

As you spun them across the floor

You are my favorite song

The one where everything goes wrong

I could sing you all night long

Until the sun comes rolling up

And though the radio stations

Have all lose their patience

For your simple sad refrain

Every once in a while

I will find you at the left of the dial

And try to tune you in again

You are my favorite song

The one where everything goes wrong

I could play you all night long

Until the sun comes rolling up

You are my favorite tune

Boys you know what to do

So come on now on two

Let's take it from the top

You are my favorite song

The one where everything goes wrong

I could play you all night long

But I think the sun is coming up
