Alice
[Verse 1]
Alice goes to church on Sunday
Then she washes all her clothes for Monday
Alice's life is neatly planned each hour and each minute
How can a guy like me fit in it?

But Saturday night we danced
And I looked into her eyes
And what I saw that took my heart completely by surprise

[Chorus]
The music swelled the first time I held Alice
The lights went dim and all I saw was her
They played a song, I sang along to Alice
And all around me, things became a blur

People stopped and starred as I held Alice
And after all the music was long gone
I heard a hush, I saw a blush on Alice
Time stood still and we went dancing on
[Bridge]
There we were the two of us
Waiting for the crosstown bus
Had a whole lot to discuss with Alice
I was nervous, she never guessed
I talk too much, she seemed impressed
I go east but I went west for Alice
Alice!
Suddenly we looked up and saw the moon
I made a wish not to let tonight end soon

[Verse 2]
But Alice still obeys her mother
Who doesn't like us seeing each other
Alice's mother doesn't know the kind of stuff I'm made of
I don't know what she's afraid of
All we did was dance, really that was all
Then all it took was just one look
And I began to fall

[Chorus]
I was felled the first time I held Alice
The lights went dim and all I saw was her
They played a song, I sang along to Alice
And now things are simply not the way they were
On the streets, heads turned as I held Alice
We walked along like school kids at a prom
I didn't care, 'cause I was there with Alice
Time stood still and we went dancing on

[Bridge]
Stars came out and filled the sky
And I knew no matter how I tried
I could never say goodbye to Alice
The skylight seemed to shine so bright
Every moment felt so right
Then a voice said, "Say goodnight, Alice!"
Alice!
Even your mother's voice is sweet to me
From now on, that's the way it's gonna be

[Chorus]
The moment's gold each time I hold Alice
The light goes dim and all I see is her
I hear a song
I sing along to Alice
And all those wonderful feelings still occur

I feel bold each time I hold Alice
We dance until the music is all gone
There's still a crush, there's still a blush on Alice
Time stands still and we'll go dancing on
Time stands still and we'll go dancing on
