fiogf49gjkf0d ROOM AT THE END OF THE HALL
Patti Sterling, Art & Robin Munson
I CAN SEE THAT DIAMOND SHINING
SPARKLING IN THAT GLASS OF CHAMPAGNE
YOU TOLD ME YOU’D HOLD ME AND CHERISH ME
WITH A LOVE THAT WON’T FADE AWAY.
COULDN’T WAIT TO TELL MOM AND DAD
ABOUT YOU AND ME SETTIN” THE DATE
COULDN’T WAIT TO TELL LITTLE SIS
I KNEW HOW HAPPY SHE’D BE.
I REMEMBER THE PARTY
ALL OF OUR FAMILY & FRIENDS
DRINKIN’ WINE AND SINGIN’ SONGS
ABOUT LOVE THAT NEVER ENDS.
COULDN’T BELIEVE THAT ALL MY DREAMS
WERE FINALLY ABOUT TO COME TRUE
COULDN’T WAIT TO TELL ALL THE GIRLS
I FOUND MY DREAM IN YOU.
HOW COULD YOU TELL ME YOU LOVE ME
WHEN YOU WERE SO READY TO FALL
FOR MY PRETTY BABY SISTER
IN THE ROOM AT THE END OF THE HALL.
YOU PLAYED THE PERFECT HUSBAND
(CAME) HOME EVERY NIGHT TO MY BED
AND I WAS SO DAMN PROUD OF YOU
COULDN’T HEAR WHAT THE PEOPLE SAID
THEY SAID. . .
“OLE BILLY’S GOT A REAL SWEET DEAL
HE’S GOT TWO FOR THE PRICE OF ONE
WHEN THAT BOY GETS HOME AT NIGHT
HE JUST DOUBLES HIS PLEASURE
‘N DOUBLES HIS FUN”
I CAN SEE THE LIGHT IN THE HALLWAY
AS YOU SNEAK OUT OF OUR DOOR
I CAN HEAR YOU TIPTOE IN YOUR BARE FEET
AND THE CREAK OF THAT WOODEN FLOOR
FOLLOWED YOU DOWN AND I WATCHED YOU
I STILL CAN SEE YOU NOW
FIRED THAT FORTY-FOUR FROM OUR DRESSER DRAWER
YOU NEVER DID COME OUT
(DOUBLE CHORUS)
HOW COULD YOU TELL ME YOU LOVED ME
WHEN YOU WERE SO READY TO FALL
FOR MY PRETTY BABY SISTER. . .
(B.G. LITTLE SISTER DOWN THE HALL)
YOU PROMISED ME YOUR PROTECTION
I PROMISED YOU MY ALL
NOW I’M WAITIN FOR MY LETHAL INJECTION
IN THE ROOM AT THE END OF THE HALL.
