TIPTOE BABY

tiptoe
tiptoe baby

be loud
about me

but
quiet
about leaving

**
whistle
whistle sweetheart

then hold your
breath a little longer

don't
waste it
on reasons why

**

tap dance darling

stick to that
sweet
soft shoe

and i say

halleluja
for the
short goodbye

**

it's a slow
dark night

and you may
never
be missed
